From the album Milk And Scissors [INTRO] C [VERSE 1]
 C                          F           C
Late New Year's Eve, paper hat on your head

      Am                    F        C
it's hard to believe you'll ever be dead

           C                                F                C
But that dream where you're falling you've had since you're five

      Am                         F        C
is a bird on your shoulder who whispers goodbye
[CHORUS]
         Am              E
What is moving will be still

             F                C
What's been gathered will disperse

             Am               E
What's been built up will collapse

           F        C
All your dreams fulfilled 
[VERSE 2]
C                 F              C
Evel Knievel shot up from dead grass

Am                  F             C
I loved him better each time he crashed

 C                     F            C
Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed 

 Am                        F           C
certain that Skylab would fall on her head
[CHORUS]
         Am              E
What is moving will be still

             F                C
What's been gathered will disperse

             Am               E
What's been built up will collapse

           F        C
All your dreams fulfilled 
[VERSE 3]
 C                          F           C
One night I dreamed that I dug my own grave 

      Am                    F         C
and climbed down inside to patiently wait

 C                     F                C
Down in the ground I breathed the warm air 

      Am                     F          C
and blackbirds flew down to nest in my hair
[CHORUS]
         Am              E
What is moving will be still

             F                C
What's been gathered will disperse

             Am               E
What's been built up will collapse

           F        C
All your dreams fulfilled
