Key of B

 

Verse: B – F# - E

 

I'm halfway, fully, nearly, close to just beyond it
Right beside and just a hair's breadth, in between, next to and closer
I'm approximately, roughly, more or less, about exactly
Almost close by and adjacent
Handy local, within hailing
But the cloud then passes over
And you're vague aloof and distant (riff)
Isolated and secluded

F#                 D#m         
Far flung, far off and remote

               E           B
You're feeling hazy and distinct

     F#      E           B
Your pigtail    has been dipped in ink

F#  E  B              F#  E  B                F#  E           
       Dipped in ink,        dipped in ink

Bridge: (with “oooh” backup vocals)

F#           G#m                
Reserved you wander unattached, (ooooh...)

G#m-F#-E                  B
       Till the sun comes out at last

F#      E  B                      F#           E         B
Somehow,      you comprehend, and I’m becoming conscious again

F#           E          F#
I'm becoming conscious again  (*with Riff 1)

F#                E                 B                 B
Conscious again   Conscious again   Conscious again   Conscious again

F#                E                 B                 B
Conscious again   Conscious again   Conscious again   Conscious again

C#m                    E             F#                 B
Appreciate, grasp, and recognize our mutually proximate prize

SOLO: B – F# - E (x4)

 

F#                    E           B  EE  B   (w/ riff)
And if the stars line-up tonight

F#                  E             B  EE  B   (w/ riff)
Then you and I will be alright

C#m            E   
If the planets don't align

F#               B              F#  E  
You go your way, I'll go mine

B            F#  E
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind

     B       F#        E
Your pigtail dipped in ink (“I’m conscious again, unconscious again”) 

(*with End Riff)
