[Intro] (x2) Am Am/G Fmaj7/F [Verse 1]
Am            Am/G Fmaj7/F 
My life comes and goes

Am            Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life comes and goes

      D            Fmaj7
Short flight, free rows: 

  D            Fmaj7
I lie down and doze
[Verse 2]
   Am        Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life came and went

   Am        Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life came and went

      D             Fmaj7
Short flight; free descent

     D       Fmaj7
Poor flight attendant
[Verse 3]
        Am   Am/G Fmaj7/F  
But the sky, over the ocean!

        Am    Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the ocean, skirting the city!

        Am      Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the city, bright as a garden

          Am         Am/G Fmaj7/F  Am Am/G Fmaj7/F        
(when the garden woke to meet me)
[Verse 4]
          Am           Am/G Fmaj7/F
From that height was a honeycomb

        Am               Am/G Fmaj7/F 
Made of light from those funny homes, 

D                Fmaj7     D              Fmaj7          
Intersected each enclosed, anelectric and alone
[Verse 5]
       C                 Fmaj7
In our lives is a common sense

     C                     Fmaj7
That relies on the common fence

     D            Fmaj7
That divides, and attends

    D              Fmaj7
But provides scant defense
[Verse 6]
         Am                    Am/G Fmaj7/F
From the Great Light that shine through a pin-hole

         Am               Am/G Fmaj7/F
When the pin-light calls itself Selfhood

        Am               Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the Selfhood inverts on a mirror

      Am Am/G Fmaj7/F 
In an Amora Obscura     Am Am/G Fmaj7/F 
[Verse 7]
         Am                  Am/G Fmaj7/F
But it's mine. Or, at least, it's lent

       Am                   Am/G Fmaj7/F 
And my life, until the time is spent

     D          Fmaj7
Is a pin-light, bent

       D          Fmaj7
It's a pin-light, bent
(On the last note of the song, I like to let the f note on the first fret of the e string ring out.)
