Bright Eyes – Arc Of Time (Ukulele)

B
You can make a plan 

F#
Carve it into stone 

E
Like a feather falling 

B
It is still unknown 

B
Until the clock speaks up 

F#
Says it's time to go 

E
You could choose the high 

B
Or the lower road 

B
You might clinch your fist 

F#
You might fork your tongue 

E
As you curse or praise 

B
All the things you've done 

B
And the faders move 

F#
And the music dies 

E
As we pass over 

B
On the arc of time 

E
So you nurse your love 

F#
Like a wounded dove 

B                                  E
In the covered cage of night 

E
Every star is crossed 

F#
By phrenetic thoughts 

B                                   E
That seperate and then collide 

E
And they twist like sheets 

F#
Till you fall asleep 

B                            E
And they finally unwind 

E
It's a black balloon 

F#                                 B
It's a dream you'll soon deny 

B
I hear if you make friends 

C#m
With Jesus Christ 

E
You will get right up 

B
From that chalk outline 

B
And then you'll get dolled up 

F#
And you'll dress in white 

E
All to take your place 

B
In his chorus line 

E
And then in you'll come 

F#
With those marching drums 

B                              E
In a saintly compromise 

E
No more whiskey slurs 

F#
No more blonde haired girls 

B                              E
For your whole eternal life 

E
And you'll do the dance 

F#
That was choreographed 

B                             E
At the very dawn of time 

E
Saying, I told you son 

F#                       
The day would come 

B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 

B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 

B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 

B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die 

E
To the deepest part 

F#
Of the human heart 

B                              E
The fear of death expands 

E
Till we crack the code 

F#
We have always known 

B                               E
But could never understand 

E
On a circuit board 

F#
We will soon be born 

B
Again, again, again, again 

B
And again, again, again, again 

B
And again, again, again, again 

B
And again, again, again
