Scorpio by Jape Transcribed by Oisin M. Lyrics by Oisin M.
DmG Dark shadows on a window screen DmG Are flickering like a dream machine DmGFAm We're Driving where the air is a ghost
DmG The sky, the book, its circuitry DmG Is playing with astrology DmGFAm Its breathing and calling me
DmAm Oh, where the river goes C The human air it looks like it flows G And every turmoil must be born F I love the shelter but I need the storm
DmAm Oh, when I'm in between C Where I once was and where I need to be G I hear a phantom stereo F The stations tuned to
G Scorpio
DmAm Scorpio, you had me at first glance C I do believe in chance G Despite what they're saying DmAm Scorpio, the blinds are always drawn C There's still another song G So don't you go saying
CGDmAmG Scorpio DmG
DmG Waking up at dawn DmG The room is not yet bright DmG Beside me she's asleep FAm My heart is filled with sorrow
DmG What I wouldn't give DmG To lie before a grace DmG If only it would place FAm Its love upon my shoulder
DmAm Oh, where the river goes C The human air it the psychic flow G And every turmoil must be born F I love the shelter but I need the storm
DmAm Oh, when I'm in between C Where I once was and where I need to be G I hear a phantom stereo F The stations tuned to
G Scorpio
DmAm Scorpio, you had me at first glance C I do believe in chance G Despite what they're saying DmAm Scorpio, the blinds are always drawn C There's still another song G So don't you go saying DmAm Scorpio, you had me at first glance C I do believe in chance G Despite what they're saying DmAm Scorpio, the blinds are always drawn C There's still another song G So don't you go saying
