CHORUS: (with 4x Rhy.Fig 2, 1x Rhy.Fig 3, 1x Rhy.Fig 4)
=======
G       D       C
   Down under a locking key, there's a
G               D     C
brain tagged to every secret
G       D         C
    Now comes the time to figure out
G          D       C
   whether we should keep it
G         D            Em              C
   Feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
          G    D       C              D
   Have I ever laid my hands on you before?

VERSE 2: (with 4x Rhy.Fig 1)
========
This must sound weird
it's like you appeared inside me
'Cause every time
you recognize my state of life

CHORUS 2: (with 4x Rhy.Fig 2, 1x Rhy.Fig 3, 1xRhy.Fig 4 and 1x Rhy.Fig 5)
=======
Down under a locking key
there is a brain tagged to every secret
If I could keep my mouth shut
there's a chance that I might even keep it
Feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
Have I ever laid my hands on you before?
            G    D       C              G
Well have I ever laid my hands on you before?
C                G        C
  'Cause I'm not sure

BRIDGE: (2x Rhy.Fig 1, doubled by heavy distorted guitar)

VERSE 3: (with 4x Rhy.Fig 1)

Total freedom beneath the waves
Floating through the Arkan caves
Synchronized in space and time
Leaving all besides behind

CHORUS 3: (with 4x Rhy.Fig 2, 2x Rhy.Fig 3, and Rhy.Fig6 on last G)

Down under a locking key
We put a brain-tag to every secret
And now comes the time to figure out
whether we should keep it
Feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
Have I ever laid my hands on you before?
            G    D       C              D
Well have I ever laid my hands on you before?

Down under a locking key

there's a chance that I might even keep it
Feel familiar and I wanna feel some more

Have I ever laid my hands on you before?
            G    D       C              D

And have I ever laid my hands on you before?
