Intro:
Gm , G# (x2)
verse 1
Gm
Have you ever wondered, well I have.
G#
About how when I say, say red, for example.
Gm
There's no way of knowing if red
Gm
Means the same thing in your head
G#
As red means in my head. When someone says red
Verse 2
Gm G#
It's as if we are traveling at, almost the speed of light
G#
And we're holding a light
Gm
That light will still travel away from us
G#
At the full speed of light, which seems right in a way
Cm
What I'm trying to say, I'm not sure
C
But I wonder if inside my head
C#
I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends
Eb
These answers that come into my mind unbidden
C# C
These stories delivered to me fully written!
C# C
And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting
C#
The noise in my head is incredibly loud!
C
And I just wish they'd stop, my Dad and my Mum.
C#
And the telly and stories would stop just for once!
Fm
And I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right.
Cm C#
But this noise becomes anger and the anger is light
Fm
And its burning inside me would usually fade.
C#
But it isn't today!
Fm
And the heat and the shouting.
C#
And my heart is pounding.
Fm
And my eyes are burning
Eb Eb
And suddenly everything, everything is...

And though the people around me.

Their mouths are still moving.

The words they are forming,

Like I've sailed.

Into the eye of the storm.
