Am B Em
Is this the future that I promised myself?
Am B Em
A pretty perfume bottle on the shelf,
D Am G C
Take it down and I'm someone else,
Am D C G D Am
The perfect spell is pure, the dark night is far behind me,
C G D Am
And I'm sure the white light will come and find me,
C G D Am D
And I'm pure and now I know that's all I ever want to be.
Am B Em
Are you some silent god that I can't see?
Am B Em
'Cause I feel you building up inside of me,
D Am G C
There's nowhere else I would rather be.
Am D C G D Am
Memory is pure, the dark night is far behind me,
C G D Am
And I'm sure the white light will come and find me,
C G D Am D
And I'm pure and now I know it's all I ever want to be.
B Am G D B Am G D
I'm lost in time in my head, floating through the sky from my bed,
B Am Em D Am D
Imagining that I am dead and it's a lovely view.
Guitar solo: Am-B-Em
Am B Em
If this is the beginning of some heavenly dream,
Am B Em
Then I'll just sit back and enjoy the scene,
D Am G C
My heart beats slow, like a soft machine,
Am D C G D Am
Tenderly and pure, the dark night is far behind me,
C G D Am
And I'm sure the white light will come and find me,
C G D Am D
And I'm pure and now I know it's all I ever want to be.
C G D Am
So pure,
C G D Am
And I'm pure.
C G D Am C
Lost in time, in my head, floating through the sky, I'm in my bed,
G D Am
I'm gone, I'm dead, and it's a lovely view
