Dm                                    Am
Completely filling the palace concert hall
    Bb                      F
Its warm and golden like an oven that's wide open
Dm                   Am
It has a melody both happy and sad
Dm       C                G
Built on victorious young triads

You've entered the room with great caution
       Bb                    F
Though no one in the hall is even watching
Dm       Am
They are transfixed
Dm       C                  G
They are forgetting just to breath
Dm          C
They are so taken by your symphony...

They are not about what is but what is not

You are sitting there breathing in your breath
Dm             C                         G
