Bm F#7
No one knows where the ladder goes
Bm F#7
You're going to lose what you love the most
Em G
You're not alone in anything
Em G
You're not unique in dying
Bm F#7
I feel estranged every now and then
Bm F#7
Fall asleep reading science fiction
Em G
I want to fly in your silver ship
Em G A
Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit
D
It's on now
F#m
The days are long now
G
The ups and the sundowns
A
And a twisting mind
D
If I've got to go first
F#m
I'll do it on my terms
G A
I'm tired of traitors always changing sides
D A G
They were friends of mine
Bm F#7
Don't hang around as the promise breaks
Bm F#7
You'll be there when the next one's made
Em G
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
Em G
Some imagined freedom
Bm F#7
All the rest is predictable
Bm F#7
You can say you're the first to know
Em G
Bought a mantra to concentrate
Em G A
Car alarm or hissing snake
D
I know now
F#m
How it's going to turn now
G
You got to calm down
A
Or I'll lose my place
D
Got to get to the center
F#m
Got to get to the concert
G
Run off with a dancer
A
Going to celebrate
Em A
We'll welcome the new age
D G G/F# Em
Covered in warrior paint
A D
Lights from the jungle to the sky
Em A
See now, a star's born
D G G/F# Em
Looks just like a blood orange
A D
Don't it just make you want to cry
D A G
Precious friend of mine?
Bm F#7
Well, I know when it's finally done
Bm F#7
This whole life's a hallucination
Em G
You're not alone in anything
Em G
You're not alone in trying
B
To be
