Josh Ritter – Orbital (Guitar)

E              A
So it was that everything

E                    A
That went to make up everything

    E                  A
Was wrapped up tight inside a grain

   E       B
Of great insistence

         E                A
And then someone gave the great command

E                      A
All things paired off for the dance

    E                    A
The great to small, the small to grand

     E         B
Down to this instant

    E               A
The hawk around the field mouse

    E             A
The love around a lover’s mouth

  E               A
I find my mind is settling down

   E        B
In circuits round you

        E                   A
And the angels round their crowded pins

    E            A
The amber-waved electrons spin

   E         A
In planetary transits

          E            B
Round the ones they’re bound to

E          A
Who do you circle 'round?

   E      A
Who is it circles 'round you?

E     A                   E B
Is it circles 'round you?

E          A
Who do you circle 'round?

   E      A
Who is it circles 'round you?

E     A                   E B
Is it circles 'round you?

    E                A
The ghost around the one it haunts

    E               A
The want around the thing it wants

    E                 A               E      B
The way the mind just wanders off and then returns to

        E                 A
And the thought around the second thought

E            A
Love or gravity or law

    E              A
Whatever name it’s got, it’s got me

E        B
Circling round you

        E                A
And the guess around the second guess

    E                 A
The hornet 'round the hornet’s nest

    E               A
The wheel time, the wheel fate

    E                  A
The light that bends itself through space

    E                  A
The light that with it carries time

      E             A
Which also bends in the same line

E           A
Relative to point of view

   E              A
So when I catch a glimpse of you

E              A
Every time you come around

    E
The room lights up

    A
And time slows too
