Intro:

        G          C7sus4  C7      [2X]
        /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Verse 1:

         G             C7sus4  C7
        Jostle, hassle, elbow bustle
         G           C7sus4  C7
        In a swirling rainbow tussle
         G                  C7sus4  C7
        Caught and froze the broken machine
         G            C7sus4      C7
        Now unites for one brief scene

Chorus:

         C            Gm7
        [1, 2: Lonely in the dark I grope
        [   3: Still out in the dark I hope]
             C            Gm7
        The keys in my kaleidoscope

        Dsus4      D       Am/D     G/D        [1-3: 2X  4: 3X, to coda]
          / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 2:

        Confused faces change their places
        Take up stances, exchange glances
        Lost in multicolored hues
        There is no hope which I can choose

[repeat chorus]

Instrumental break:

        (organ solo over verse chords; guitar solo over chorus chords)

Verse 3:

        In one face, one moment's fusions
        Realize the pure illusions
        Clutching fingers break the puzzle
        Jostle, hassle, elbow bustle

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

        Dsus4      D   Dm  Ab/D [hold]
          / / / /  / / / /  /
