Prechorus 1:
NOTE: Playing prechorus on chords it's not really the best idea,
I made it only for orientation, so better do it on one string:

Cm D# Cm Bb
The impulse is pure;
Cm D# Cm Bb
Sometimes our circuits get shorted
Cm D# Bb Cm D# Cm Bb
By external interference.
Cm D# Cm Bb
Signals get crossed
Cm D# Cm
And the balance distorted
Bb Cm Bb G#
By internal incoherence.
Chorus 1:
Cm Bb
A tired mind become a shape shifter,
G#
Everybody need a mood lifter,
Cm Bb G#
Everybody need reverse polarity.
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to elevate from the norm.
Cm G# Cm
Verse 2:
An ounce of perception,
A pound of obscure.
Process information at half speed.
Pause, rewind, replay,
Warm memory chip,
Random sample, hold the one you need.
[Bridge]
Prechorus 2:
Leave out the fiction,
The fact is, this friction
Will only be won by persistence.
Leave out conditions,
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence.
Chorus 2:
A tired mind become a shape shifter,
Everybody need a soft filter,
Everybody need reverse polarity.
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to elevate from the norm...
Outro:
Cm G# Bb G#
Cm Bb G#
Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got to elevate from the norm - [repeat till fade]

[NOTE - I know there are some other words instead 'elevate'
in this last repeating verse but I don't have time to find them ;P]
