[Intro]
D  F#m
D  F#m  E  D
[Verse]
DUnder the above, above the below a light dome glowing from the homes on the F#mcoast
Somehow each one makes their way back to it and every year the reservEoir fills up with fluidD  
Pathways, holes, and cords connect everyone to each pair of lungs inflating under the F#msun
Warm eras shift back into ice ages, I go extinct and retrogreEss to simpler phasesD  
With Bmsouth being below us Gnow up are mAountains, F#mmoons, and cBlouds
GSomeday maybe F#mact your Bage, stand up sGtraight, know where and wAalk that Eway
[Verse]
DA low tide exposes what hides in a high tide, for every right a wrong is right on the other F#mside
Corn fields turn beige and into mazes, planetary systemEs go through certain phasesD  
DFirst thing to slither up on land was a fish, walked to the forest to build cities with iF#mt
Retire in it's incessant empire, make and fight fires, through tErees weave wDires
[Verse]
Into your Bmhouse lies but just your mind Gmirroring in a lAake like F#mhigh lake pBines
GSome other day maybe F#mfeel your Bage lay down in a gGrave know 'where' and sAtep that wGay,
know 'when' and Acatch that Dwave, know 'why' so Alie awakeC  
With Bmsouth being below us Gnow up are mAountains, F#mmoons, and cBlouds
GSomeday maybe F#mact your Bage, stand up sGtraight, know where and wAalk that Eway

F#m

[Intro]

D F#m

D F#m E D

[Verse]

D F#m

Under the above, above the below a light dome glowing from the homes on the coast

E D

Somehow each one makes their way back to it and every year the reservoir fills up with fluid

F#m

Pathways, holes, and cords connect everyone to each pair of lungs inflating under the sun

E D

Warm eras shift back into ice ages, I go extinct and retrogress to simpler phases

Bm G A F#m B

With south being below us now up are mountains, moons, and clouds

G F#m B G A E

Someday maybe act your age, stand up straight, know where and walk that way

[Verse]

D F#m

A low tide exposes what hides in a high tide, for every right a wrong is right on the other side

E D

Corn fields turn beige and into mazes, planetary systems go through certain phases

D F#m

First thing to slither up on land was a fish, walked to the forest to build cities with it

E D

Retire in it's incessant empire, make and fight fires, through trees weave wires

[Verse]

Bm G A F#m B

Into your house lies but just your mind mirroring in a lake like high lake pines

G F#m B G A G

Some other day maybe feel your age lay down in a grave know 'where' and step that way,

A D A C

know 'when' and catch that wave, know 'why' so lie awake

Bm G A F#m B

With south being below us now up are mountains, moons, and clouds

G F#m B G A E

Someday maybe act your age, stand up straight, know where and walk that way
