[Intro ]
Gm 


 
       Gm 
Well a story begins with a dart in my hand 
    Gm 
I'm tied to the rock that burns in the sand 
    Gm 
The waves are crashing and the jell are so cold 
        Gm 
And the flowers in the water surrounding the boat 
 

 
Gm                    C 
  Who's mind is this? 
Gm 
  Just tell me who 
Gm                     C 
   Who's mind is this? 
   Gm 
No meaning coming through 
 

 
          Gm 
There's a hole in my head, you can see right through 
Gm 
  I make out a mirror where I can normally see you 
Gm 
  I'm becoming a building with a door for a mouth 
Gm 
  My head is in the North and my feet is in the South 
Gm 
  The walls of my skin so alive to the touch 
Gm 
  Come in to the building, I want you so much 
 

 
Gm 
  Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Put the bucket down 
Gm 
  Hey 

Put the bucket down 
Gm 
  Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Put the bucket down 
Gm 
  Hey 

Put the bucket down 
 

 
         Eb               E          F               Gb 
I am the sound of all the signals to move inside the head 
    Eb       D         F            C 
The less you have, the more you can make of it 
               Eb               E             F               Gb 
With all those senses and those feelings that light up in the brain 
         Eb         D      F        C 
And they paint with angel, building round your world again 
       Gm 
World again 
 

 
Gm 
  Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Put the bucket down 
Gm 
  Hey 

Put the bucket down 
Gm 
  Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Put the bucket down 
Gm 
  Hey 

Put the bucket down 
 

 
     Gm 
With these thoughts move around me, they swim inside my head 
   Gm 
No idea what you've be reading or the thoughts that's just being read 
Gm 
Some light up the shadows, bringing life up to the dead 
      Gm 
While all the maps keep changing, imagination led 
 

 
Gm                    C 
  Who's mind is this? 
Gm 
  Just tell me who 
Gm                     C 
   Who's mind is this? 
   Gm 
No meaning coming through 
 

 
        Gm 
But the salt is in the chocolate, the silky sexy stain 
Gm 
  I feel the elimination of all the circuits in my brain 
Gm 
  They show you where we're going, a road of love and pain 
Gm 
No one here can tell you where we're heading on this train 
 

 
         Eb               E          F               Gb 
I am the sound of all the signals to move inside the head 
    Eb       D         F            C 
The less you have, the more you can make of it 
               Eb               E             F               Gb 
With all those senses and those feelings that light up in the brain 
         Eb         D      F        C 
And they paint with angel, building round your world again 
       Gm 
World again

Well the story's begining is the same as the end 
Gm 
  The dreams and motions bounce down the bend 
Gm 
  It bounce down the bend 
Gm 
  It bounce down the bend 
Gm
