Intro: F#m
E C#m E
We left town to look for someone
C#m – B C#m
Who would listen to some songs
E C#m
We cooked in our magic kitchen
E C#m
Change was forbidden
E C#m
It wasn’t clear
E C#m E C#m
Everyone must sing the same old songs every year.
Interlude: D – Bm – D – Bm }x2
(1st verse chords)
Like a spell the sounds came dancing in our heads
Painting pictures as we slept our souls were fed
In a music box we kept our secret songs
Packed our bags, we took the van and before long.
Refrain:
D Bm
Tides shift and side into another
D Bm
Like a flat tire twisting fates
D Bm
An innocent chance in the destiny dance
D Bm (hold)
Take you down the wizard gates.
(1st verse chords)
Never speak to strangers
Often I was told
They looked desperately harmless
I felt bold
Sometime later, alligator
We were friends, shared some stories
Tales of worries, somehow it all blends.
Chorus:
D
Everyone seemed all right
G C
Situation stable
D
Everything seemed all right
G C D
Never turns out to be quite simple
G
We had to get back
C D
(We) Packed the wrong box in the sack
G
We had to get back
C D
(And) She tagged along.
