Am
Someone somewhere sometime ago
His eyes were clear to see
He put his thoughts into my mind
And gave myself to me
Dm
He stopped me from living so unsane
I can be just what I want to be
Am
Things appear as they really are
I can see just what I want to see


     Em                      Dm
Come on and let it happen to you
     Em                      Dm
Come on and let it happen to you
               Am
You’ve got to open up your mind
                                 G - Am     G - Am
And let everything come through


Am
Oh well, it starts like a roller coaster ride
So real it takes your breath away
It slides you through your point of view
You look back to where you thought you’d stay
      Dm
Your ride the changes outside you
While inside you’re like a neon ray
         Am
And you find out you don’t have to search for words
For there’s nothing you need to say


     Em                      Dm
Come on and let it happen to you
     Em                      Dm
Come on and let it happen to you
               Am
You’ve got to open up your mind
And let everything come through

G - Am    G - Am


Am
After your trip life opens up
You start doing what you want to do
And you find out that the world you once knew
Gets what it has from you
Dm
No one can ever hurt you
Because you know more that you thought you knew
             Am
And you’re looking at the world through brand new eyes
And no one can ever spoil the view


          Em                      Dm
Come on and let it happen to you
     Em                      Dm
Come on and let it happen to you
               Am
You’ve got to open up your mind
And let everything come through

 Repeat   G - Am               (End)

All we might say is understood

It's good to know we won't be strangers anymore

     Am                 G
You finally find your helpless mind,
     Am                 C
is trapped inside your skin.
     Am                 G
You want to leave, but you believe

you won't get back again.

You try and try, you die and die. You're stopped by your own doubt.

Intro X2
Am
Reverberation,
reverberation.


     Am                 G
You find no peace, it doesn't cease,
       Am        C
it's deadly irritation.
    Am                     G
It keeps you blind, it's there behind,
      Am        C
your every hesitation.
    Am                       C                          
It holds your thought, your mind is caught,

your fixed with fascination.
     Am                  C             
You think you'll die, within the lie,

it's backward elevation!

Reverberation,
reverberation.

    Am   D
You see reverberation,
Am             D
is your latest incarnation,
Am          D
You think it's a sensation,
G            E7                Am    Intro X2
but it's just reverberation.


    Am                     G
You start to swerve, the downward curve,
      Am              C
that catches up your fears.
      Am                  G
Each thing you do, comes home to you,
     Am                 C
and pounds inside your ears.
      Am               C                           
Your start to fight against the night, 
        D                 C
that screams inside your mind.
       An                C           
When something black it answers back, 
      D               Am
and grabs you from behind!


Intro
Am
Reverberation,
echoing through your brain.
Reverberation,
driving your mind insane.
Reverberation,
causing your blood to drain,
                        Am   G   X4
leaving just charred remains.           (End)

G|---------2--------2-----2------------4--------4-----4-------|
D|---4--4-----4--4-----4---------4--4-----4--4-----4----------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------|


F#m                    B
Through the rhythm of darkened time
F#m                B
Painted black by knowledge crimes
    F#m          B
And repetitions pointless mine
   F#m                 B
Instilling values the sick define
      F#m                    B
That weaves the fabric that keeps you blind
    F#m                   B
And ties your hands and cloaks your mind
    F#m               B
But on my stilts I´m above slime
 F#m                   B
Come on up if you can make the climb but 
    F#m   B      F#m    B      F#m
Who am I!     Who Am I!     Who Am I!


      F#m                       B
I've smelt the stench from the fumes that rise
          F#m                   B
From the books that rehash the same old lies
  F#m                  B
I felt the panic that they disguise
        F#m               B
In the forms of laws of every size
      F#m                                   B
I've heard the teachers whine and make you drop off like flies
         F#m                                         B
But you know they're teaching nonsense, 'cause they catch you on your eyes
        F#m                              B
I have seen the fool's gold they pawn off as their prize
       F#m                   B
To the average standard the norm supplies but
     F#m   B        F#m   B        F#m     B
Where Am I!    Where Am I!    Where Am I!


G#m    C#


     G#m                           C#
You gobble all the blessings they tossed you to digest
     G#m                               C#
They may be hard to swallow, but they keep your tongue depressed
     G#m                    C#
Your scattered whims were born depressed
   G#m              C#
So when something slams your chest
     G#m                C#
You flutter about your sleep distressed
     G#m               C#
And then you stop to ease your breast
    G#m                  C#
A scattered rim leaves you obsessed
      G#m                 C#
While solid thoughts are soon suppressed
          G#m     C#       G#m     C#       G#m
But Where Are You?   Where Are You?   Where Are You?    REPEAT

Your daily life revolves around a thousand petty hassles
  D               C               G               Am
Corney dots and window panes and pink and silver dazzles

And you don´t know
 G         A
You don´t know
 G         A         G        E
You don´t know how young you are


D                  C                G               Am
If I knew what´s right for you you would not be without it
     D              C                G                Am
And if I knew the truth for you I’d surely stand and shout it
          D                 C                G            Am
There´s better things that you can be, there is no doubt about it


     G         A
And you don´t know
 G         A
You don´t know
 G         A         G        E
You don´t know how young you are


Em
You don't know    (You die young)       Repeat

Here you are at my place within your glistening eyes
     F              Em              Dm               G
I´m watching your reactions as the thing within you cries

And I´m bringing you this message 
          Am                  B7

That the kingdom of heaven is within you

Intro x2

     F               Em              F             Em
The incense and the candles and the colors on the wall
      F              Em           Dm               G
Your image stands reflected as a princess come to call
        Am             Em              Am                 B7
Your suspicions I´m confirming as you find them all quite true

And the kingdom of heaven is within you

            F             Em                 F              Em
Through the stained glass windows moonlight flashes on the choir
       F            Em         Dm             G
And splashes on the altar in glows of liquid fire
         Am                  Em            Am         B7
Then it bathes you with its glory and you begin life anew
         Em         Am          Em
And the kingdom of heaven is within you

Solo:  Em   (End)

Chorus:

 D          G          D        G
Living home on monkey island, baby
 D            G           D        G
Right in the middle of a zoo
 D          G          D        G
Living home on monkey island, baby
   C                     A7
Pretend to be a monkey, too


Verse 1:

     G              Bb
Well, here I am on monkey island
G                   Bb
Hiding behind a rock
    G                      Bb
I'm all dressed up with my monkey suit
    C                          A7
Pretending to be something I'm not


(Chorus)


Verse 2:

       G                           Bb
Well there's one thing about these monkeys, baby
 G                    Bb
They don't know I'm around
 G                              Bb
But that's pretty good, 'cause if they knew
        C                       A7
They'll probably come and put me down


(Chorus)


Verse 3:

        G                   Bb
With my paisley tie and my one button suit
      G                    Bb
I'm about as close as I can get
    G               Bb
I guess I must be doing okay
           G                      Bb
'Cause they haven't come and got me yet


(Chorus)

     B5
You think you´re strong when you´re all restraining
     B5
You think you have when you´re only claiming
            F#7                E7
When I got near all I saw was fear
                     B5                                           Bm
And I know that you tried to hide and you cried ´cause you lied about it



      B5
You knew that you had when you tried to tell it
       B5
You thought that you were when you tried to sell it
                F#7                E7
And when I got near all I saw was fear
                     B5                                           Bm
And I know that you tried to hide and you cried ´cause you lied about it


     B5
You used the words but you´re only guessing
         B5
And you know I saw it was your brand new dressing
                   F#7                         E7
Well, you know the song, but you live it all wrong
                     B5                                           Bm
And I know that you tried to hide and you cried ´cause you lied about it
