Truth Is A Dimension Both Invisible And Blinding Acordes

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A                            D
I got off the highway north of Desert Canyon Station
A                                     E
I was driving with my headlights off, just stars for navigation
A                             D
My telescope, my notes and my ham sandwiches and coffee
A                                    E
Sometimes you must be all alone and there ain't no way to not be
 
F#m                          D
I was thinking about Tonya, how things had rearranged
A                                     E
And everything had come full circle, we were back to being strangers
F#m                                 D
She was with a man named Neil now, that's all I knew about him
A                                 E
But I was happy she was happy, real happy that she'd found him

[Verse 2]
A                           D
It was just after 11 when I pulled off at the lookout
A                                           E
The parking lot was empty though the air still smelled like cookouts
A                             D
And yes I admit I toked one, that doesn't change what happened
A                              E
Anyway you're not my parents, and it really helps my mapping
F#m                          D
Of the System 611, a Magellanic cluster
A                               E
I'd been watching for a while, I got my telescope adjusted
F#m                          D
And I turned it toward an unassuming patch of dusty sky
A                                     E
That was really fifty million stars a billion lightyears wide

[Verse 3]
A                           D
And then all at once it felt as if time had been suspended
A                                           E
And a vision poured into me like a bottle'd been upended
A                           D
I was filled with revelation both infinite and finite
A                                           E
That filtered down my telescope encoded in the starlight
F#m                          D
It said, "Truth is not immutable, itself is a dimension
A                                           E
Truth can be both weighted down and warped in strange directions
F#m                          D
Truth has a shape that alters, each according to observer
A                                           E
Sometimes you must be close to it, sometimes you must be further
 
[Bridge]
F#m                          D
Truth can bend and truth can break, depends on how you ask it
A                                           E
It frays or it may blaze out at some pall bound for Damascus
F#m                          D
And it sometimes gets mistook for God, sometimes for his servant
A                                           E
It both exists and doesn't, like a star that's not observed yet
A                           D
Which all at once returned my thoughts to System 611
A                                           E
Still twinkling down the telescope into my mind from heaven
A                                       D
And I stood there looking upward as the darkness turned to dawn
A                                           E
And received that strange transmission until finally it was gone

[Verse 4]
A                                   D
And though I knew beyond a shadow my discovery was real
A                                           E
The person that I longed to tell was sound asleep with Neil
A                             D
In some parallel dimension maybe Tonya is still mine
A                                           E
But in this one she loves someone else, that left me to search the sky
F#m                                   D
So I went ahead and wrote this to alert you to my findings
A                                           E
I call it, "Truth Is a Dimension Both Invisible and Blinding"
F#m                                      D
You can give me the awards now, you can knight me or whatever
A                                           E
I've got nothing going on now me and Tonya aren't together
A                                   D
You can go ahead and laugh at me and all of my conclusions
A                                    E
Symposiums and seminars and think tank institutions
A                                   D
You may even talk to Tonya, let me ask you if you do
A                                           E
Please tell her I still love her, that will always be the truth
