[Verse 1]
                        E
I was listening to the first grace notes of the day play
                                        A/E
The sun kept on rising till it floated away
                   E
Gone to join the bright side, needed to count in
                                              A/E
Controlled demolitions, the path through the mountain
              E
Did I see it right? Can’t believe where the day went
                               A/E
Gone like a mic drop, tired of waitin’
                 E
Want to start again, need to think up an alias
                                            A/E
You sleep in your clothes now, it makes you feel safe
 
 
[Chorus]
                         E                     A/E
Now you’re clearing the room just like Pontius Pilate
                        E
When he showed all his home movies
             A/E                         D
All of his friends yelling “Pilate! Too soon!”
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
                    E
Came out the other side some kind of agnostic
                                               A/E
Keeping a straight face, but at some point you lost it
                 E
A painting of a wasteland, beautiful I guess
                                           A/E
But I only like art when it’s changing the subject
                  E
Listening to the first grace notes of the day play
                                        A/E
The sun kept on rising till it floated away
                 E
Spun out of control, you recover and steer through
                                      A/E
Into controlled slide, it’s just what you do
 
 
[Chorus]
                         E                     A/E
Now you’re clearing the room just like Pontius Pilate
                        E
When he showed all his home movies
             A/E                         D
All of his friends yelling “Pilate! Too soon!”
 
 
[Post-Chorus]]
      D                       C
So I got you a map to find a home in the stars
   G
I hope you get there
 D                       C
Got you a map to find a home in the stars
   G
I hope you get there

[Verse 3]
                     E
You want to start again, but you need to count in though
                                       A/E
On three, we burst through the Overton window
                         E
And fall through the kaleidoscope of your mentions
                                             A/E
You’re buried in daydream, you think it’s an entrance
 
 
[Chorus]
                         E                     A/E
Now you’re clearing the room just like Pontius Pilate
                        E
When he showed all his home movies
             A/E                         D
All of his friends yelling “Pilate! Too soon!”
 
 
[Post-Chorus]]
      D                       C
So I got you a map to find a home in the stars
   G
I hope you get there
 D                       C
Got you a map to find a home in the stars
   G
I hope you get there

[Outro]
                      E
    Listening to the first grace notes of the day play
                                            A/E
    The sun kept on rising ‘til it floated away
E                                           A/E
    The sun kept on rising ‘til it floated away
E                                           A/E
    The sun kept on rising ‘til it floated away
