  			G 
I've been sleeping fair 
C 
Lately I could swear I'm thinking 
Am 
Clearer and clearer 

G 
And I've been working hard 
C 
Looking at my punch card 
       Am 
And my mirror, my mirror 

      Em             Bm 
But I daydream in my room 
    Em            Am 
I'm baying at the moon 

G           C 
Ricochet in time to the music 
        G 
You just pick a day 
    C             Am 
And I'm in a new destination 

G 
I take too many planes 
C 
I know too many names 
         Am 
And I forget them 

G 
I wanted to know if dreams would lie 
C                                    Am 
You said they would try and I said, "Let them 
You just let them" 

Em                       Bm 
But I kill dreams in the chase 
Em                 Am 
I slap love in the face 

G           C 
Ricochet in time to the music 
         G 
You just pick a day 
      C           Am 
And I'm in a new destination 

G 
I crawled up from the sewer 
C 
For something that was truer 
        Am 
Than I intended 

        G 
I ended up on my knees 
       C                Am 
In this big city I was befriended 
I transcended 

      Em                   Bm 
But I bruise my friends for more 
 Em               Am 
I rail at Heaven's door 

G           C 
Ricochet in time to the music 
         G 
You just pick a day 
     C            Am 
And I'm in a new destination
