Intro:A 
   
      A E/G# Bm D/F# Bm A D/F# F#m E (twice)

Verse:
     A             E/G#       Bm
  Affection, the gifted architect,
      D/F#     E         F#m   A      D/F# F#m E
  Is making a draft and beautiful design,
       A            E/G#    Bm
  The options and possibilities,
       D/F#        E      F#m      A    D/F# F#m E
  Are endless when we connect and re-align,
      A           E/G#           Bm   
  Collections of books and documents,
    D/F#       E     F#m       A        D/F# F#m E 
  Arise and parade around my cluttered desk,
     A           E/G#            Bm
  Reworking the math and measurements,
     D/F#       E            F#m        A    D/F#
  Until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque,
        F#m              E
  Like mountains in the Midwest,

Interlude:A E/G# Bm D/F# Bm A D/F# F#m E (twice)

Verse:
     A          E/G#             Bm
  Reaction creates the columns dark,
       D/F#           E      F#m       A     D/F# F#m E
  And wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale,
         A         E/G#                Bm
  The structures begin to take their shape,
     D/F#         E         F#m    A   D/F# F#m E
  Before I've designed the public monorail,
        A           E/G#            Bm
  The turnpike and high-speed motorway,
      D/F#        E         F#m      A       D/F#  F#m E
  Connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets,
        A          E/G#               Bm
  The airport, the broad suspension bridge,
      D/F#          E            F#m     A    D/F#
  The lake and the beach where several rivers meet,
      F#m                E
  Compounded from the spreadsheet,

Coda:
A          D/F#           F#m
  A city sparkles in the night,
             D/F#
  How can it glow so bright?
A           F#m                  D/F#             E
  The neighborhoods surround the soft florescent light,
A            D/F#         F#m
  Designer skyline in my head,
                D/F#            
  Abstract and still well-read,
A                 F#m              D/F#           E
  You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead,


Outro:A E/G# Bm D/F# Bm A D/F# F#m E (twice)

      D/F#
