I said, "I'm just a servant to my base desires"

She said, "I'll tell you a few things, free of charge:
DCGEm
Steer clear of jagged rock, tread careful at the higher level
DCGEmDCGEm
This ain't no game, but you can play if that's what you want"

Then she said, "We are just paper boats bobbing adrift afloat
DCGEm
While winds of fortune shove us where they will"
DCGEm
Woke up coughing on the shore, cold outcrop broken, sore
DCGEm
Back on the mainland, the chimps were coming up trumps
[Chorus]
AC
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
GA
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
CG
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
AC
Back on the mainland, back on the mainland
GEm
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
DCGEm
On golden sand
DCGEm
[Verse]
DCGEm
We stared into the haze, ocean merging with sky
DCGEm
And talked about the land of our fore-mothers
DCGEm
Now that we've shut the gate, it would be funny if it
DCG
Didn't make you want to cry
Em
This is just the bed we've woken up in
[Chorus]
AC
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
GA
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
CG
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
AC
Back on the mainland, back on the mainland
GA
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
CG
Green dreams were folding over, as we sailed off the mainland
[Solo]
A C G x4
AC
Never coming off the line
G
Wake up feeling fine
A
Her eyes under pale moonlight
C
Far corner of the earth
G
Tripping up on the edge
ACG
Big impossible now
