VERSE 2: (the same)
 
D7/4.....
I was set in motion by a half tone shift
And in its wake I was cast adrift
With my magic potion and my glittering gift
I had lift off

I swallowed hard and feeling warm
I swear I saw the world transform
Into a realm of hawks and snakes and doves

Beautiful blue jaguar
Tethered to a shooting star
Before I knew I flew too far

In time I heard the deafening roar
As the lines blurred and I slipped on through the door---> (GO TO INTRO)



Chorus:
G --------------------
Thank you for the moon

--------- Em ----------
Thank you for the stars

--------- Bm ------------- D7/4 --- D7  
Thank you for turning them on
