G       D       C
   Down under a locking key, there's a
G               D     C
brain tagged to every secret
G       D         C
    Now comes the time to figure out
G          D       C
   whether we should keep it
G         D            Em              C
   Feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
          G    D       C              D
   Have I ever laid my hands on you before?

VERSE 2: (with 4x * 1)

'Cause every time
you recognize my state of life

Down under a locking key
there is a brain tagged to every secret
If I could keep my mouth shut

Feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
Have I ever laid my hands on you before?
            G    D       C              G
Well have I ever laid my hands on you before?
C                G        C
  'Cause I'm not sure

Floating through the Arkan caves
Synchronized in space and time
Leaving all besides behind

Feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
Have I ever laid my hands on you before?
