Stamina

D         Em       C
 I turn into a salamander
D           Em           C
 Playin' an old computer game
D          Em                C
 I felt my thoughts becoming grander
D         Em            C
 A flower bloomin' in a flame


[Chorus]
D              Em            C
 Why do I keep runnin' out of stamina?
D              Em          G           C
 Why do I keep openin' and closin' the doors and windows?
D             Em              C
 What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
D             Em             G            C
 Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?

[Verse 2]
D        Em              C
 In my cocoon no one can hear me
D              Em            C
 It's like I'm singin' in an urn
D        Em              C
 When I emerge I will see clearly
D            Em        C
 The glowin' pixelated fern


[Chorus]
D              Em            C
 Why do I keep runnin' out of stamina?
D              Em         G           C
 Why do I keep openin' and closin' the doors and windows?
D            Em               G               C
 What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
D             Em             G            C
 Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?


[Bridge]
A          G               A           Em
   Do you imagine your condition to be worse than it is?
A            Em               A            Em
   Do you compare yourself to figures of mythology?
Bm          C        A
   Your metamorphosis must be close at hand

[Chorus]
D              Em            C
 Why do I keep runnin' out of stamina?
D              Em         G            C
 Why do I keep openin' and closin' the doors and windows?
D             Em              G               C
 What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
D             Em             G            C
 Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?
