Fmaj7 G Am Am
Fmaj7 G C G/B Am
Fmaj7 G Am
[Verse 1]
Am G Fmaj7 Am This land today, shall draw its last breath, Am G Fmaj7 Am and take into its ancient depths. G Am This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self, G Am while I, with human hindered eyes. G C G/B Am Unequal to the sweeping curve of life, Fmaj7 G Am stand on this single print of time.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C G/B Am Human wheels spin round and round, Fmaj7 G Am while the clock keeps the pace. Fmaj7 G C G/B Am Human wheels spin round and round, Fmaj7 G Am help the light to my face.

Fmaj7 G C G/B Am
Fmaj7 G Am*
[Verse 2]
Am G Fmaj7 Am That time, today, no triumph will gain, Am G Fmaj7 Am at this short success of age. G Am This pale reflection of its brave and blundering deed, G Am for I, descend from this vault. G C G/B Am Now dreams beyond my earthly fault Fmaj7 G Am knowledge, sure, from the seed.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C G/B Am Human wheels spin round and round, Fmaj7 G Am* while the clock keeps the pace. Fmaj7 G C G/B Am Human wheels spin round and round, Fmaj7 G Am help the light to my face.
