D C
[Verse]
D Comes the summer rain C Cue the lighting and far off thunder again D Projecting through the clouds C Meditations, and drifting off in the sound F D Dsus4 The more mistakes, the more resolve F D Dsus4 It’s gonna take much more than ordinary love D Dsus4 D To lift this up
[Chorus]
C Bm Asus4 Stars align they say when Bm C Things are better then right now Bm Asus4 Feel the retrograde spin us round round round C Bm Seven seas are raising Asus4 Bm C Forever futures fading out Bm Asus4 Feel the retrograde all around round round
[Instrumental]
D C
[Verse]
D Accelerate the change C Feeling equal and opposite all the same D Momentum rearranged C Shout, the echo, turning back but now changed F D Dsus4 The rusted shapes refuse to fall F D Dsus4 It’s gonna take much more than ordinary love D Dsus4 D To lift this up
[Chorus]
C Bm Asus4 Stars align they say when Bm C Things are better then right now Bm Asus4 Feel the retrograde spin us round round round C Bm Seven seas are raising Asus4 Bm C Forever futures fading out Bm Asus4 Feel the retrograde all around round round
[Verse]
F Bm C Hear the sounds Bm In the distance now C Bm Could be thunder Em Or a crowd
[Outro]
D C x8 Feel the sound (feel the sound)
