VERSE 2
(With RIFF 2)
If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you'll never understand
(INTRO/RIFF 1 reappears here (an octave lower than in the intro))
Little white shadows
Sparkle and glisten
Part of a system, a plan
VERSE 3
(with RIFF 2)
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
(INTRO/RIFF 1 an octave lower again)
You're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system, a plan

[F#m]Swam on a sea of faces
[D]A tide of the human races

(same chords as above)
See it in a new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on love, stay with me
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phew...thats it. Pretty easy song, but complex arrangement and its hard to hear all the
intricacies that the guitarist is employing under all those organs. anyways...good luck!
