Verse
E                       F#                      G#m 
 There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress 
                 B 
And I'm sneaking glances 
E                              F# 
  Looking for the patterns in static 
                     G#m 
They start to make sense  
                B 
The longer I'm at it. 
 
Chorus

Ivory lines lead 
       G#m7        B 
Oh wha-ho, oh wha-ho

Verse
E                F#                         G#m 
 Your heart is a river that flows from your chest 
              B 
Through every organ. 
E                  F# 
 Your brain is the dam 
               G#m 
And I am the fish 
                      B  
Who can't reach the core.

  Oh, instincts are misleading 
D#m                E                B  
You shouldn't think what you're feeling

You know you should want
