C              G
 I was a timid Rockwellian boy
F                     G
 She was tattooed and ready to deploy
C                   G
 Gave me reservation and the like
F                     G
 But she could be the dangerous type
C                           G                    F
 But I threw caution 'cause something about that yin and the yang
    G                      Am     Em        F           G
 Was pushing my boundaries out beyond my imagining

[Chorus]
                C                     G                  F
 While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause
       G
 I let go
                 Am                Em
 While you were out there weighing odds
           F             G
 I was imploding the mirage
                 C                      G
 While you were out there looking like that
             F                   G
 I struck my name from the camouflage
           Am               Em
 I wasn't lost in the collage
          F      G    Am     G     C
 I was imploding the mirage
          F   G         C
 I was imploding the mirage

C           F   G (x2)

[Verse 2]
C                  G
 I had to do it, I had no other choice
F                            G
 You've got to listen to the inside voice
C                    G
 A bullet train will get you there fast
F                    G
 But it won't guarantee a long last
C                      G                         F
 Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage and doubt
     G                   Am     Em          F     G
 To push your boundaries out beyond your imagining

[Chorus]
                C                     G                  F
 While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause
       G
 I let go
                Am                Em
 While you were out there weighing odds
           F             G
 I was imploding the mirage
                 C                      G
 While you were out there looking like that
             F                   G
 I struck my name from the camouflage
           Am               Em
 I wasn't lost in the collage
          F      G    Am     G     C
 I was imploding the mirage
          F   G         C
 I was imploding the mirage

C          F   G  (x2)

[Bridge]
      Am
 I was spellbound by the show
                E
 The matchless power of the glow
        C                                D
 I was bound by golden shackles, getting by
                 Am
 She tripped the breaker, blew the fuse
          E
 Doesn't need no pair of shoes
                Am              G              Fm
 Her wings have come, and she's ready for the sky

[Chorus]
                C                     G                  F
 While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause
       G
 I let go
                Am                 Em
 While you were out there weighing odds
           F             G
 I was imploding the mirage
                C                       G
 While you were out there looking like that
                F                G
 I walked right out of the camouflage
            Am             Em
 I wasn't locked in no collage
           F     G     Am    G    C
 I was imploding the mirage
           F   G       C
 I was imploding the mirage
