[Verse 1]
A                     Amaj7
  I can feel it on my tongue

                A6
Brick and mortar as thick as scripture

        F#m                          C#m        E
Drawing lines in the sand and laying borders as tall as towers

A                     Amaj7
  I babble on until my voice is gone
[Verse 2]
A                               Amaj7         A6
  This hill I'll die on is about 90 meters of bricks

                   F#m              C#m                A
Colored indigo, inscribed with my name, and lined with cedar

        A                    Amaj7
But the words fall flat like cymbals crashing

    Amaj7
Like molars gnashing
[Chorus]
E                                             A
  'Cause like constellations a million years away

                     F#m    C#m
Every good intention, every good intention

E                  A
  Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array

F#m
  Looking for the faces

F#m                             A
  Looking for the shapes in the silence
[Bridge]
A      F#m   A
   Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh

A F#m A
...
[Verse 3]
(A)                       Amaj7                  A6
All that's left for me to climb to the heavens is the chasm of the night

      F#m       C#m
And a matter of time

               E
But I hear the rumble

                      E
As the tectonic plates start to shake

      A                               F#m         C#m
And I feel my blood pounding like the beat of a drum
[Chorus]
E                                             A
  'Cause like constellations a million years away

                     F#m    C#m
Every good intention, every good intention

E
  Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array

A
  Clinging to the faces

F#m                             A
  Clinging to the shapes in the silence
[Bridge]
A     F#m   A
  Aaaaahhhhhhhh

A     F#m   C#m
  Aaaaahhhhhhhh

C#m   E     A
  Aaaaahhhhhhhh

C#m F#m F#m E
(Walkdown)
E E E E A A A A E E E E
C#m F#m F#m E
(Walkdown)
[Chorus]
(E)                                  A
Like constellations imploding in the night

                     F#m    C#m
Everything is turning, everything is turning

E                                                             A
  And the shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light

                                                                       E
And everything you thought you knew will fall apart, but you'll be all right
[Outro]
    F#m   A
Aaaaahhhhhhhh

    F#m   E
Aaaaahhhhhhhh

    F#m   A
Aaaaahhhhhhhh

    F#m   E
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh....
