Verse 2: E The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school B When players hacked their way through each opposing team And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling Am E On a season that he loved too much to leave Chorus: E B When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much E Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush A And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned B E It all runs together, as if by design Verse 3: The boat out in the middle of the ocean B Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection Am E Not recognized as what it used to be Chorus: E B When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much E Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush A When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned F# B E It all runs together, as if by design Bridge: A#m Every day getting a little A More acquainted with the riddles B F#m B Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go Solo: E C#m C# C#m F#7 B F#m E D#m C# B E Bm D A F#m A F#m B E Chorus: E When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much B Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush A F#m A And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned F# B E It all runs together, as if by design E As if by design E As if by design
