      [INTRO riff]
C F C Dm G

C C F G
Am Am F G


             C
I sleep in the mouth
                F               G
Of some kind of creature of our time
               Am
And wild as it goes
             F
I give up my body
              G
And here's my mind
            C
To love and beyond
               F             G
To love and to tumble in its light
             Am
Like a dream engineer
               F                   G
I built like a fool, now live like one


[Chorus 1]
C                   Cmaj7           Dm      G
And I just spoke of engines of some lost forever
   Em       Am
Of lonesome fears
               F    G
The feeling of one
Am          
Ending up to find
              Dm      G
I'm just some blind believer
    Em       Am
You spelling out
            F
I'm not the one
Dm                G
I'm just a little unprepared
    G
The end has just begun


[Horn break]
C  F  G

                 C
But then empty I find
             F           G
I'm suddenly open to the land
                Am
And reckless it grows
                 F               G
So bring me some reckless times again


[Chorus 2]
C                    Cmaj7           Dm   G
Where I can speak of engines of some lost forever
Em          Am
Of lonesome fears
               F   G
The feeling of one
Am
Just to end up feeling like
     Dm    G
Some blind believer
Em          Am
You calling out
            F
I'm not the one
Dm                  G
I was a little unprepared

But time has just begun


[Break]
C  F  G


        Am
What if nature is just numbers
        F
You and I repetition
       C                          G
Are we free or just brought out again?
       Am
I will get through these days
            F
Give me the spring and some summer
    C                     G
But then, do you think of me?

                  C
That's me in your sight
                 F               G
I go through the motions of some life
                  Am
It's wild, yes I know
           F
I carry my body
          G
Sing some lines


[Chorus 3]
   C            Cmaj7             Dm    G
So I can be the ghost of some now lost forever
   Em       Am
Of lonesome fears
               F  G
The feeling of one
Am
Ending up to find we're just
     Dm   G
Some wild beginners
     Em     Am
Just trying out
         F
Am I the one?
Am                         F
I guess for some things we prepared

But the rest has just begun


[Break]
C   F  G
Am  F  G  G


        Am
What if nature is just numbers
        F
You and I repetition
       C                        G
Are we free or just brought out again?
       Am
I will get through these days
            F
Give me the spring and some summer
    C                  G        C6
And then, will I still think of you
         F  G  C
All the time?
