And my mirror, my mirror

Em Bm

But I daydream in my room

C Em Am

I'm baying at the moon

[Chorus]

G C

Ricochet in time to the music

You just pick a day

C Am Em Am Em C

And I'm in a new destination

[Verse 2]

I take too many planes

I know too many names

And I forget them

I wanted to know if dreams would lie

You said they would try and I said, "Let them

You just let them"

But I kill dreams in the chase

I crawled up from the sewer

For something that was truer

Than I intended

I ended up on my knees

C D Am

In this big city I was befriended

I transcended

Em Bm

But I bruise my friends for more

C G Am

I rail at Heaven's door

[Chorus]

Ricochet in time to the music

You just pick a day

C Am Em Am Em

And I'm in a new destination
