F#m

[Verse 1]
E  C#m  E
We left town to look for someone
C#m B    C#m
Who would listen to some songs
E C#m
We cooked in our magic kitchen
E C#m
Change was forbidden
E C#m
It wasn't clear
E        C#m  E C#m
Everyone must sing the same old songs every year.

[Interlude]
D  Bm  D  Bm  x2

[Verse 2]
E    C#m    E
Like a spell the sounds came dancing in our heads
C#m     B    C#m
Painting pictures as we slept our souls were fed
E C#m
In a music box we kept our secret songs
E        C#m  E C#m
Packed our bags, we took the van and before long.

[Refrain]
D   Bm
Tides shift and side into another
D   Bm
Like a flat tire twisting fates
D   Bm
An innocent chance in the destiny dance
D   Bm
Take you down the wizard gates

[Verse 3]
E    C#m    E
Never speak to strangers
C#m B    C#m
Often I was told
E    C#m    E
They looked desperately harmless
C#m B    C#m
I felt bold
E        C#m  E C#m
Sometime later, alligator

E    C#m    E
We were friends, shared some stories
E        C#m  E C#m
Tales of worries, somehow it all blends.

[Chorus]
D
Everyone seemed all right
G C
Situation stable
D
Everything seemed all right

G    C   D
Never turns out to be quite simple

G
We had to get back
C D
(We) Packed the wrong box in the sack
G
We had to get back
C D
(And) She tagged along.

[Refrain]
D   Bm
Tides shift and side into another
D   Bm
Like a flat tire twisting fates
D   Bm
An innocent chance in the destiny dance
D   Bm
Take you down the wizard gates

[Instrumental]
Bm  Dm  F#m  A  x3

D
She tagged along... (x2)

[Refrain]
D   Bm
Tides shift and side into another
D   Bm
Like a flat tire twisting fates
D   Bm
An innocent chance in the destiny dance
D   Bm
Take you down the wizard gates

D Bm
Take you down the wizard gates... (x2)
