Intro
So now the years are rolling by
its not long since you and i
could have been train drivers or astronauts
and now we're stuck in furniushed ruts
and yeah the thing that really cuts
is we cant remember how we got caught
filtered air computer screens
muffled sighs and might have beens
count your blessings then breathe and count to ten
and though it doesnt often show
we are scared because we know
that our forefathers were farmers and fishermen
and so the world has changed
worse or better's hard to tell
but my hope remains
within the arms of isabel
so now our calloused hands once told
a story honest as its old
of sowing seeds and setting sail
but now our hands are soft and weak
and working seven days a week
at the salvations schemes that are bound to fai
and so the world has changed
worse or better's hard to tell
but my hope remains
within the arms of isabel
I'll admit that i am scared
of what i dont understand
darling if you're there
gentle voices soothing hands
to quiten my despair
to show off all my plans
darling if you're there
EXTENDED CHORUS
and so the world has changed
Dadd9* (slide Cadd9 up 2 frets)
and i must change as well
The machines weve made
will damn us into hell
and the time will come
when all must save themselves
and i will save my soul
within the arms of isabel
x2 end on
