       Metanoia 




 
Part 1:
     A        D         C#m
Metanoia, reshaping the world
 
Cm
It can teach you
 
D#               D
And reprogram you
 
C#m                  D
It can show you the flood
 
        E         A
That's trapped inside
 
(repeat chords of part 1 3x)
This one's alive
The tail is breathing
And she's listening
Kill the serpent
Divide, disperse and grow
 
Into an oak
A silver lining on a black scale
Wicked hunter on three hooves he still rode
 
But where is the fourth?
You can climb there
To your lofty perch
 
C#m                  D    E       A
It can teach you the fairytale of hurt
 
 
Break:
A – Bm - G# - F# - C#
 
 
Part 2:
C#                       G#
Mystic referee, don't look on me with scorn
 
C#                  G#
I'm a child, I'm a lover being born
 
D#
Satchidananda
 
C#                         (riff)
Disregard the path I'm on
 
(repeat chords of part 2)
You can justify the action, should you bless
My ambition and my indecisiveness
Satchidananda
Let me know that you exist
 
B                       F#
Watch me tremble as I'm answering the phone
 
B                  F#             F
I am separate from everything you know
 
F# G#
 
(repeat chords earlier in part 2)
Mystic referee I promise to return
Once I've given up and lessons have been learned
Satchidananda
You can watch my fire burn
 
Part 3: No chords
We were talkin' junk right,
Just before the show
This wild-eyed kid came up to the fence
He took one look at us, and he said:
 
 
 A
"Help me,
 
C
Drummer,
 
A
Ticket,
 
C
Yeah!"
 
 
A
We didn't play his favorite song,
 
A                                      G
Now he'll never come to another show
(repeat this sentence until fade in of part 4)
 
Part 4:
 
Section four:
repeat these chords 7 times: A C G F#m F
 
Hospitals and woods confirm
Red in the eyes of everyone
Parasites and lovers scrape the meat from bones
Turned into jade and tiger's eye
Save me some dark hair over a face like hers
She'll help the rain come to a pour
Bathroom floor of stone and tiles broke in two
Warm where they touch her porcelain
Timid skin I'm careful to untie this road
Wrapped in a knot indifferent
Lion's foot unearthing all the things i've seen
But never truly understood
Rotten wood from oceans that were never green
Crumbles beneath the canopy
Secretly
 
                 F#                   G#
Let's pretend we never touched the sugar
 
C# F# F# Fm <-- these last F# and F chords are played high on the fretboard.
