Tom: F#m

F#m D F#m D Bm

[Verse 1]
F#m
Confusing is,... To commotion
D
What love is,... To our devotion
F#m
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
D            Bm
And equally hard to control

F#m
So save your predictions

And burn your assumptions
D
Love is friction

Ripe for comfort
F#m
Endless equations

And tugging persuasions
D
Doors open up
Bm
To interpretation

[Chorus]
    D                F#m
Expecting perfection
          E
Leaves a lot to ignore
          B
When the past is the present
          D
And the future's no more
      F#m
When every tomorrow
        E
Is the same as before

[Instrumental]
F#m D

[Verse 2]
F#m                                           D
The looser things get,... The tighter you become
                  Bm
The looser things get,... Tighter

F#m                                          D
There's not one man, who's greater than the sum

That's not a negative thought,

I'm positive, positive, positive

F#m
Falling down,... Not staying down
D                           Bm
Could've held me up, rather tear me down

Drown in the river

[Chorus]
    D                F#m
Expecting perfection
          E
Leaves a lot to endure
          B
When the past is the present
          D
And the future's no more
      F#m
When every tomorrow
        E
Is the same as before

[Verse 3]
Bm                            E        D
Numbers keep falling off the calendars floor
 Bm                           E      D
Stuck in our boxes, Windows open no more
          Bm
Coullecting up the forget-me-nots
        E                  D
Not recalling what they're for
        Bm
I'm in love with clairvoyants
               E           D
'Cause they're out of this world

[Instrumental]
D F#m D Bm

[Verse 4]
F#m
I know the girls wanna dance,...
D
Away their circumstance
F#m
I know the boys wanna grow,...
D                                 Bm
Their dix, and fix and fire things

F#m
I know the girls wanna dance,...
D
Clairvoyants in a trance
F#m                        D
I know the boys wanna grow,...
        Bm
Their dix, and fix and fire things

[Outro]
F#m
Stand back when the spirit comes

Stand back when the spirit comes
D
Stand back when the spirit comes

Stand back!
F#m
Stand back when the spirit comes

Stand back when the spirit comes
D                                Bm
Stand back when the spirit comes

D
Stand back when the spirit comes

Stand back!

(I know the girls wanna dance away their circumstance)
F#m                                  D

F#m                            D            Bm
(I know the girls wanna dance away their circumstance)
F#m                                  D
