[Chorus]
Em7
Mother may I sleep with danger, please
Am7
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Cm7
Oh oh and you saw but you chose to ignore

But now it's more than a wish it's a dream

You said baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks

Oh there's no time to fall
Cm7
Your existence would call
B7
And see experimenting

Em7 Am7
And I guess there's just no other way
Cm7

Cause I'm wearing bamboo and I'm picking up zoots
Em7

G Am7
Now I'm turning on a risen love
Em7 Cm7
And your sachi sealed a deal for us
