D
I see five fingers on each hand.
D                     A              G
I can see only as far as my arms can stretch.
G                                  D
After that it all gets kinda blurry.
D
I see the air compressor vent where it rises.
D                           A       G
Up from the hot ground, but I'm not afraid.
G                   D
I see what's going through.
A                       G                         D
It's you, only it's bigger and better and brighter.
D
I got the sofa set up right here.
D             A              G
I got a room, a room full of sand.
G                                                 D
Open up your mouth and buddy you'll wish that you hadn't.
D
I feel the new day coming on strong.
D               A                  G
I see Cindy and she's talking up a storm.
G                                  D
I remember her and I see who she's bringing.
A                   G                           D
It's you, only it's bigger and thinner and wider.
D
I touch the leaves of the plant next to me.
D                                              A
They're thicker than they were the last time I touched them,
G                                  D
and it curls quickly around my hand.
D
There are stars up there even when you can't see them.
D                            A              G
I'll tell you something that really bothers me.
G                                   D
How are we supposed to get anything done?
A                G                                   D
With those stars casting shadows that look just like spiders.
D     A         G                                          D
Yeah, it's you, but this time you're coiled up much tighter.
