[Verse]
F                   Am
I can feel it on my tongue
Brick and mortar
F
as thick as scripture

        Am                           Dm         F    Am  Dm
Drawing lines in the sand and laying borders as tall as towers

Am                   Dm
I babble on until my voice is gone
[Verse 2]
F                              Am
This hill I'll die on is about 90 meters of bricks

F               Am                                     Dm
Colored indigo, inscribed with my name, and lined with cedar

        F                    Dm
But the words fall flat like cymbals crashing

      Am
Like molars gnashing
[Chorus]
F                                            Am
'Cause like constellations a million years away

                     Dm
Every good intention, every good intention

    F             Dm                      Am
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array

                     Dm
Looking for the faces

                               F
Looking for the shapes in the silence
[Verse 3]
F                         Am
All that's left for me to climb

               Dm
to the heavens is the chasm of the night

      F         C
And a matter of time

                F
But I hear the rumble

                 Am               C
As the tectonic plates start to shake

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

                     Dm
Every good intention, every good intention

    F             Dm                      Am
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array

                     Dm
Looking for the faces

                               F
Clinging to the shapes in the silence
[Solo] F Am Dm F Am C [Chorus]
F                    Am              C
Like constellations imploding in the night

                       F
Everything is turning, everything is turning

         Am
And the shapes that you drew

F                              Dm
may change beneath a different light

                               F
If everything you thought you knew

     Am                   F
fell apart, you'll be all right
