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]
