verse 1 

G                          C D G 
It's not me you're talking to 
                       C D Em  
Gently dancing in my room 
                         C 
Through the light beam ark 
                        Em 
I'm all stops and starts 
                      C D G          
I'm all space and stars 
                     C D G  
I'm a brilliant machine 
                       C D Em 
Composed of softer beings 
                Am                    C 
Compression ache, scale bends and sways 
                      D 
Another nova on the way 

           Em                          C 
Though the constant feels constant, I'm breaking up 
     G                     D 
The choices I make will all fade to dust 
          Em                     C    
While the matter is shifting, I'm waking up 
    G                          D 
I remember, I remember what I thought I was 

verse 2 
G                           C D G 
It's not me you're watching move 
                       C D Em 
Slam dancing 'round my room 
                     C      D 
Faster, faster 'til I bloom 
        C 
Keep on blooming, keep on blooming 
            D 
Dragging me down, though I keep moving 
        C                   
Keep on blooming, keep on blooming 
            D 
Dragging me down, though I keep moving 

           Em                       C 
Though the constant is constant, I'm breaking up 
     G                              D 
As I grow, I'm so tired, but I'm too big to stop 
          Em                     C 
While the matter is shifting, I'm breaking up 
    G                         D 
I remember, I remember what I thought I was 
           Em                       C 
Though the constant is constant, I'm breaking up 
     G                              D 
As I grow, I'm so tired, but I'm too big to stop 
          Em                     C 
While the matter is shifting, I'm waking up 
    G                         D 
I remember, I remember what I thought I was
