Verse 1:
       Bb                 D
Finally, I'm crossing the threshold
                  Eb                         Ebm
From the ordinary world, to the reveal of my heart
           Bb              D
Undoubtedly, that will for certain
                         Eb                             Ebm
Take the dead out of the sea, and the darkness from the arts

Pre-chorus 1:
             Bb
This is my commitment (ah-ah-ahh)
              D
My modern manifesto (ah-ahh)
                 Eb
I'm doing it for all of us (ah-ahh)
              Ebm
Who never got the chance (ah-ah ah-ah)

                  Bb
for Amy and for Whitney (shut-up, shut-up)
                    D
And all my Birds of Paradise (shut-up, shut-up)
                 Eb
Who never got to fly at night (shut-up, shut-up)
                              Ebm
'Cause they were caught up in the dance (ah-ah ah-ah ahh)

Chorus 1:
Bb
Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
  Gm
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
  Bb
I never really notice that I had to decide
   Gm
To play someone's game or live my own life

          Bb
And now I do
          C7
I want to move
           Bb
Out of the black (out of the black)
         C7                   Bb
Into the blue (into the blue)

Verse 2:
       Bb            D
Finally, gone is the burden
                       Eb                                 Ebm
Of the cowardly way of being, that comes from energies combined
                  Bb           D
Like my part was I, was not discerning
              Eb                          Ebm
And you as we found out, were not in your right mind

Pre-chorus 2:
                        Bb
There's no more chasing rainbows (ah-ahh)
                  D
And hoping for an end to them (ah-ahh)
                   Eb
Their arches are illusions (ah-ahh)
         Ebm
Solid at first glance (ah-ah ah-ah)

                    Bb
But then you try to touch them (touch, touch)
                        D
There's nothing to hold on to (hold, hold)
                   Eb
The colors used to lure you in (you in)
                 Ebm
And put you in a trance (ah-ah ah-ah ahh)

Chorus 2:
Bb
Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
  Gm
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
  Bb
I never really notice that I had to decide
   Gm
To play someone's game or live my own life

          Bb
And now I do
          C7
I want to move
           Bb
Out of the black (out of the black)
         C7                   Bb
Into the blue (into the blue)

Outro:
           Bb
Out of the black (out of the black)
         C7
Into the blue (into the blue)
           Bb
Out of the black (out of the black)
         C7                   Bb
Into the blue (into the blue)
