VERSE 1
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
It started out with butterflies
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
On a velvet afternoon
With flashing eyes and promises
Fmaj7
Caught and held too soon
Cmaj7
In a place called Ixea
Fmaj7
With it's pumpkin oval moon
Cmaj7
It started out so nice
VERSE 2
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Genji taught Orion
Fmaj7
Sea-purple harmony
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
While Kogi hit secrets into seashells
Cmaj7
And even the ocean laughed
Fmaj7
Beneath that celestial canopy
Cmaj7
Cuz it started out so nice
Fmaj7 G7
CHORUS
Fmaj7
With the dust of stars they intermingled
Durock of Avon would only jingle
Cmaj7
Marble money tunes
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
As pale earthly circles swooned
VERSE 3
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Questions fell but no one stopped to listen
Cmaj7
That eternity was just a dawn away
Fmaj7
And the rest was sure to come
Cmaj7
Leaves, caught in winter's ice
Fmaj7 G7
CHORUS
Fmaj7
Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains
Prisms in a palm one way it happens
Cmaj7
The air was silver calm
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
The softly met were slowly moving on
Fmaj7
BREAK
Bb D
Then all things in common
G7 F G7
Suddenly grew strange
CHORUS
Fmaj7
Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows
Trying to find where the wind blows
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
To empty corners past dusty memories
VERSE 4
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came
Cmaj7
Crooked shadows roamed through the nights
Fmaj7
The wizards overplayed their names
Cmaj7
And after that the Wurs never bothered to have
Fmaj7
Summer reasons... again,
Cmaj7
But it started out so nice
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
It started out so nice
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
We started out so nice.
