Chords

[Intro] G G C G D G [Verse 1]
G                      C
Happiness is somewhere I have been before-

G                   C
A blurry photograph that I have since ignored

G
I'll carefully adjust the aperture once more

G               D      G
Until I set the record straight

G                         C
I'll brush aside the dim, make room for the bright

G                        C
I'll be an editor, no, a curator of light

G
I'll let my better angels always set me right

G            D       G
Until I even out the score

G            D       G
Until I even out the score
[Chorus]
C           Em
God, it has been quite a year-

G                       D
I've lived a little bit and I've died a little more

C                Em
I know that I've asked it before

G                        D              G
But please let the scale tip here in my favor
[Verse 2]
G                          C
What was once the sweetest melody I've heard

G               C
Is now a memory reduced to little words

G
I'll tune the orchestra and play the overture

G                D     G
Until I pinpoint every note

G
Give me the heart of an archeologist

                       C
That I may dig until I prove that I exist

G              C
A subterranean cathedral in my midst

G           D       G
Where echos come to rest

G           D       G
Where echos come to rest

G                   D       G
Is this where echos come to rest?
[Chorus]
C           Em
God, it has been quite a year-

G                   D
I've lived a little bit and I've died a little more

C                Em
I know that I've asked it before

G                        D              G
But please let the scale tip here in my favor
[Interlude] C Em G D C Em G D G [Outro]
G               D      G
Until I set the record straight

G               D      G
Until I set the record straight

G                   D      G
Until I can set the record straight
