[Verse 1]
D                 Bm               F#m                  
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
     Em7                          A              A7      
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
D                Bm               F#m                            
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
  Em7            Gm        
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om

D         Bm                 F#m                            Em7 
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
                        A            A7   
They call me on and on across the universe
D                Bm              F#m                    
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
     Em7                               A              A7      
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my opened ears
  Em7          Gm       
Inciting and inviting me
D            Bm               F#m                             Em7 
Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns
                        A            A7   
And calls me on and on across the universe

[Chorus]
D             A7sus4
