A               A/G
Dreams like a kaleidoscope

       D/F#             Dm
Life's just some shitty list I wrote

   A               A/G
Of everything I've ever broke

  D              F
A circus of debris

   A            A/G
Of every jagged word I've spoke

D/F#            Dm
Every cigarette I've smoked

   A             A/G
If ever you were told to

A/G
Don't

      D/F#              Dm  C
Don't ever change a thing
[Chorus]
         D                  A     C
Floating down the stream of time

           D              A     C
Teach this pilgrim how to shine

         D/F#            C
Floating down the stream

          D        C
What's it gonna be

          D               A    
You can't take what isn't mine
[Interlude] G D F G A G D F G A [Verse 2]
A                       A/G
The flood that comes in all my dreams

D
Tsunami of memories

A                     A/G
Take me where they'll bury me

 D                        F
Acquaint me with the stones

    A               A/G
For every brick and every bea

  D                   Dm
A slave will work and sweat and bleed

       A                  A/G
And an architect collects his fee

    D/F#             Dm    C
All floods do run to home
[Chorus]
         D                  A     C
Floating down the stream of time

You can't take what isn't mine

         D/F#            C
Floating down the stream

          D/F#     C
What's it gonna be

           D/F#           A    
Teach this pilgrim how to die
[Interlude] G D C D/F# C G A7 D A7 [Verse 3]
  A               A/G
Before the sun completes its arch

    D/F#                Dm
And leaves us wintering in dark

           A
Is there a language here

        A/G
Or just strange marks

     D/F#        Dm
Some alphabet of souls

A                     A/G
Some memories whisper low remarks

D/F#         Dm
Others never ceasing bark

     A            A/G
Like dogs in some sunless park

   D                 F
Forever digging holes
[Chorus]
C        D                  A     C
Floating down the stream of time

           D              A     C
Teach this pilgrim how to shine

         D/F#            C
Floating down the stream

          D/F#     C
What's it gonna be

           D/F#           A    
Teach this pilgrim how to die
[Interlude] G D F A G D C A [Verse 4]
A                         A/G
The time will come when I awake

        D                     F
And the cold wind of the dawn will say

  A                    A/G
I don't care if you go or stay

    D/F#                 Dm
Jus don't forget your soul

A              A/G
Vanity like leaden plates

   D/F#              Dm
Protect me from what radiates

A            A/G
Realities dishonest weight

     D/F#              Dm
Pass through me and go on
[Chorus]
C         D                  A     C
Floating down the stream of time

          D/F#            A     C
You can't take what isn't mine

         D/F#            C
Floating down the stream

          D        C
What's it gonna be

           D              A G  
Teach this pilgrim how to die
[Outro] D G F G A G D F G A D A
