Gotten to, gotten to

[Verse 2]

She's gotten to mysterious devotions

She's gotten to the zodiac and Zen

On her friends, on her friends

Friends who come to ask her for their future

Friends who come to find they can't be friends

Because of signs and seasons that don't suit her
           Bm                                              Cm

Puts you in, puts you in

Inside your own self-pity there you swim
    B                                                              Bm
In sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you
    Bm                                                Cm
And only with your laughter can you win
           Em                    Dm
Can you win, can you win

[Verse 6]

You win the lasting laurels with your laughter
    Fm                                             B
It reaches like an arm before you sink
    B                                        Bm
To win the solitary truth you're after
     Bm                                               Cm
You dare not ask the priestess how to think
       Em                      Dm  
How to think, how to think

To see the place she's lately gotten to

Gm
