1a. Bb Bdim Cm C#aug Down, down, down you go Bb Bdim Cm C#aug No way to stop Bb/D Bb7 Eb Ebm/C As you fall, hear me call Bb/F Cm/E Eb F No, no, no Bb Bdim Cm C#aug Listen to this warning and Bb Bdim Cm C#aug Consider these Bb/D Bb7 Eb Ebm/C Simple words of advice: Bb/F Cm/E Eb F Stop, stop, stop 1b. Bb Eb Cm F Fogging the view, cupping face to the window Bb Eb Cm F In darkness you make out a spiraling shape Bb Eb Cm F Putting all reason aside you exchange Bb Eb Cm F What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange Chorus: Bb Eb Cm F The spiraling shape will make you go insane Bb Eb Cm F (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) Bb Eb Cm F But everyone wants to see that groovy thing Bb Eb Cm F (Everyone wants to see that thing) Bridge: Eb Bb/D F Bb And nobody knows what it's really like Eb Bb/D C F But everyone says it's great Gm F/A Bb C F F7 And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes 2a. This could lead to excellence Or serious injury Only one way to know Go, go, go Go ahead, wreck your life That might be good Who can say what's wrong or right? Nobody can 2b. Put out your hands and you fall through the window And clawing at nothing you drop through the void Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape Chorus: The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) 3. And now that you've tried it, you're back to report That the spiraling shape was a fraud and a fake You didn't enjoy it, you never believed it There won't be a refund, you'll never go back Chorus Bridge 1b. Chorus Coda: Instrumental |: Bb Eb Cm F  :| Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing) Instrumental |: Bb Eb Cm F  :| Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing)
