Future Reflections by MGMT
Future Reflections
A
And there were future reflections
G
On the face and the hands
A
On a green colored island
G
On a primitive man
A
It was the future reflected
G
It felt familiar but new
A
A street was missing a building
G
The kids had something to do
A B
There was a feeling the spirit was leaving
G
Red like a marker
D A
So my tribe, with my knife
C G
Cut the heart from a lonely life
A C
I saw patterns on floorboards
A G
Deep in the dust was a leader
A C
Someone was walking on floorboards
A G
Turned them from oak to cedar
A C
He can assess the situation
A G
I wrapped a string around my finger
A C
Into the forest with the young ones
A G
I don't expect to be a winner
A B
But as long as you feel it
G
I'm a believer
My heart is phosphor
D A
Sea rolls and death tolls
C G
Break the surface don't break my bones
A B G
Off of the trail and off of your hands and
Onto a new plan
D A
Is the cost to stay lost
C G
Forever in an empty skin
Pale and thin
B D A C
If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell
B D A C
But pieces come together for some reason just as well
B D
Their guns couldn't see us
A C
There's a sea outside my door
B D
And one day I'll appreciate
A C G
The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore
F#m
And remember what it felt like
Bm
To be alone
F#m
Sitting in the sunlight
Bm
All alone

This part is especially weird, so I just play basically
the bassline (which I mapped out for guitar)
throughout this verse:

I saw patterns on floorboards
Deep in the dust was a leader
Someone was walking on floorboards
Turned them from oak to cedar
He can assess the situation
I wrapped a string around my finger

Just end on that progression: C#m, B, A, E
