[Verse 1]
Em Bm7 There's no beginning to the story, a bookshelf sinks into the sand Cmaj7 G D/F# And a language learned and forgot, in turn, is studied once again Em Bm7 It's a shocking bit of footage viewed from a shitty TV screen Cmaj7 G D/F# You can squint out into snowy static to make out the meaning Em Bm7 And keep on stretching the antenna hoping that it will come clear Cmaj7 G D/F# We need some reception, a higher message, just tell us what to fear
[Chorus 1]
Am D G Em 'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings Am D G Em It's alive with such possibilities Am D G D/F# Cmaj7 All I know is I feel better when I sing B* Burdens are lifted from me Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F# That's my voice rising
Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F#
[Verse 2]
Em Bm7 So, Michael, please keep the tape rolling, boys keep strumming those guitars Cmaj7 G D/F# We need a record of our failures, yes, we must document our love Em Bm7 I've sat too long in my silence, I've grown too old in my pain Cmaj7 G D/F# To shed this skin, be born again, it starts with an ending
[Chorus 2]
Am D G Em So thank you, friends, for the time we shared Am D G Em My love stays with you like sunlight and air Am D G D/F# Cmaj7 And though I truly wish I could keep hanging around here B* My joy is covering me Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F# Soon, I will disappear
Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F#
[Bridge]
C It's not a movie Em/B No private screening Am This method acting D Well, I call that living C It's like a fountain Em/B A door has opened Am We have a problem D With no solution Cmaj7 B* But to love and to be loved
[Chorus 3]
Am D G Em So I've made peace with the falling leaves Am D G Em I see their same fate in my own body Am D G D/F# Cmaj7 But I won't be frightened when I'm awoken from this dream B* And returned to that which Em Bm7 Cmaj7 Gave birth to me
[Outro]
G D/F# Gave birth to me Gave birth to me Em Bm7 Gave birth to me Cmaj7 And the story goes G D/F# And the story goes Em And it goes on and on and on and on Bm7 It's going on and on and on and on Cmaj7 It's going on and on and on and on G D/F# It's going on and on and on and on Em It's going on and on and on and on Bm7 It's going on and on and on and on Cmaj7 It's going on and on and, on and on G D/F# On and on and on and on Cmaj7 B* And on
Em Bm7 Cmaj7
