Verse 1:
[n.c.] On a train to G5nowhere, in another nightmare
In a dream about falling for someone and E5taking her
back to my A5room
Tangled up in her hair and believing D5everything goes
and then anything more is al- G5right

Verse 2:
[n.c.]On a road to G5somewhere, where it goes I don't care
but it keeps on winding and E5winding and winding a- A5way
Sitting next to me are lovely seno- D5ritas
Reality way in the back of my G5mind [fast riff]


Chorus:
I'm under the C5influence I D5find it's C5all in my D5mind
and under the C5influence the D5blind will lead the G5blind
Thunder and C5lightning in my D5head but C5only in D5bed
I'm under the C5influence of D5something from the G5blue

Chromatic riff 2x

Verse 3:
[n.c.]When I wake a G5new day, on a better do day
