Noah Gundersen – Ouroboros (Guitar)

           C                            Am
There’s a hole in the ceiling where the weather gets in

     F                            G
It’s been there for ages, but you try and pretend

          C                        Am
That it’s just a reflection of the hole in the floor

     F                         G
That fills up with water every time that it storms

Am          AmMaj7
Clutching a copy of “The Power of Now”

     C           C/b    Am     G
And humming your favorite song

 F                      C
“Isn’t she lovely,” the blind singer said

 F                            G
And kept on repeating, though nobody answered him

          C                        Am
There’s a chorus of killers singing outside your door

    F                                  G
The sciеntist prophesied all that’s in store

    C                           Am
For king and for country as you fall on your sword

     F                    G
Thеn wonder at all of the blood on the floor

    Am                  AmMaj7
The essence of history, the balm of desire

    C                C/B        Am   G
The snake that keeps eating its tail

       F                    C
On the sinking Titanic, the quartet kept playing

   F                   G                  Am
As into the ocean, the pride of an empire sank

F                      G
How can I tell you the secret

   C       C/B          Am
If I don’t remember the words?

F                       G
How can we keep playing favorites

     C            C/B        Am
When who’s to say what we deserve?

F                     G
All of our heroes are famous

    C        C/B       Am
But Superman died in a chair

   F                G                  Am
If any among you is blameless, you can cast the first stone

      G                        F
But I can’t keep pretending to care

           C                           Am
There’s a clock somewhere counting the hours and days

     F                      G
That make up the memory of all our mistakes

    C                            Am
And who’s guilty conscience will carry the weight

       F                       G
Of the future unwritten on the filthiest plate?

     Am                   AmMaj7
Your humanist dogma, your Christian belief

       C           C/B           Am  G
Aren’t really that different at all

    F                          C
If something from somewhere is guiding your steps

F             G            C
What will you do if you’re wrong?
