VERSE 1

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

It started out with butterflies

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

On a velvet afternoon

With flashing eyes and promises

Caught and held too soon

Cmaj7

In a place called Ixea

Fmaj7

With it's pumpkin oval moon

Cmaj7

It started out so nice

VERSE 2

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

Genji taught Orion

Fmaj7

Sea-purple harmony

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

While Kogi hit secrets into seashells

Cmaj7

And even the ocean laughed

Fmaj7

Beneath that celestial canopy

Cmaj7

Cuz it started out so nice

Fmaj7 G7

CHORUS

Fmaj7

With the dust of stars they intermingled

Durock of Avon would only jingle

Cmaj7

Marble money tunes

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

As pale earthly circles swooned

VERSE 3

Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Questions fell but no one stopped to listen

Cmaj7

That eternity was just a dawn away

Fmaj7

And the rest was sure to come

Cmaj7

Leaves, caught in winter's ice

Fmaj7 G7

CHORUS

Fmaj7

Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains

Prisms in a palm one way it happens

Cmaj7

The air was silver calm

The softly met were slowly moving on

Fmaj7

BREAK

Bb D

Then all things in common

Suddenly grew strange

CHORUS

Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows

Trying to find where the wind blows

Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7

To empty corners past dusty memories

VERSE 4

Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came

Cmaj7

Crooked shadows roamed through the nights

Fmaj7

The wizards overplayed their names

Cmaj7

And after that the Wurs never bothered to have

Fmaj7

Summer reasons... again,

Cmaj7

But it started out so nice

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

It started out so nice

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

We started out so nice.
