[Verse]
Cm                            
Coming out to the light of day
       Ab   Cm                         
We got many moons that are deep at play
Cm                                    
So I keep an eye on the shadow's smile
Ab                       
To see what it has to say
Fm7         F7     Ab  
■   You and I both know
                   Cm  
Everything must go away
                   F7
Ah what do you say ■ 
Cm       Gm                      
Spinning knot that is on my heart
            Cm                              
It's like a bit of light and a touch of dark
C7            Cm                C7    
You got sneak attacked from the zodiac
      Ab                 
But I see your fire spark
    F7                   Ab
Eat ■  the breeze and go ■ 
                    Cm  
Blow by blow and go away
               Cm 
Oh what do you say


[Chorus]
     Fm Ab                Fm  
Yeah ■  you don't know my mind
                  Cm  
You don't know my kind
                     Bb                Ab 
Dark necessities are part of my design and
                    Fm                   Cm 
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
                     Bb         Cm    
Dark necessities are part of my design

Cm      C7      Cm7            
Stumble down to the parking lot
        G7              Cm          
You got no time for the afterthought
                              C7       
They're like ice cream for an astronaut
            Ab                F7
Well that's me looking for we ■ 
                Ab 
Turn the corner and
                       Cm     
Find the world at your command
        Ab      
Playing the hand


[Chorus]
                       Fm  
Yeah you don't know my mind

Cm               Cm7        
Pick you up like a paperback
         Ab    Fm          Cm    
With the track record of a maniac
                    C7       
So I move it in and we unpack
         Ab      Bb7       F7
It's the same as yesterday ■ 
           Ab
