= minor

= major
= flat major
= dominant 7
= major 7
Part A (O0:00 - 01:22):
Here, A minor, C major, and Amaj7 are played with the two top strings (B
and high E) being open, but still strummed.
Sleep as the goer
the bridge that watches the light speed through
And cries while the spirit stumbles
and inside missile for the protection of you
Maybe it's silent
the voice can't bear anymore strain
but speaks without even knowing
and streams out of sight in the direction of truth
Part B (01:23 - 01:51):
Transition:
-----5-----5------|
---5-----5-----10-|
-6-----7-----9----|
------------------|
------------------|
------------------|
There's no reason there's no secret to decode
if you can't save it, leave it dying on the road
wide open arms can feel so cold, so cold
Feel so cold
Part C (01:52 - 02:09):
Part D (02:10 - 04:44):
Transition - Play A major until the singing comes in.
Balance the books, the ledges, the loons
the disappointed look on the faces
that squint at the moon
I've seen it with shadows enhanced
and then vote to decide who'll advance
Silver jet plane, making a turn
exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn
it's not the life lesson I'd've guessed
if you're conscious you must be depressed
or at least cynical
But someone might still eat the steaks
even if they're tough
Spending the day
chewing the fat
floating away isn't rough but it's not enough
Oh Marianne, pass me the joint
the sandpaper's tan
go-getters are surfing the point
and London's a scratch on the lens
it's over before it begins
Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders
the older I get, the more I suspect there's a trick
but really there's no trick at all
that doesn't result in a fall
or a faltering
But something might spit out the bait
even if it's real
Rolling away
missing the spoke
close to the ground like a wheel but it's not joke
Holding the line
clutching the phone
nobly wasting the night, but it isn't right
it's not right
Smelling for blood
praying for rain
running away isn't rough, but it's not enough
Let the last A chord ring.
Part E (04:56 - 05:59):
The low tide is telling me that it's over,
to breathe in everything exposed
and comes back to cover me with a breaker
being here's always changing too
Part F (06:07 - 08:21)
The empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all
wide open arms can feel so cold
and you can sit beside me and tell me what it's worth
but I hope I die before I get sold
I hope I die before I get sold
I'd rather die before I get sold
Part G (08:22 - 08:58):
If you find the soul that you lost
frozen in a starry void
Take it within and hope the sight of blood
can will signs of life to return
Back to the way that it was
long before it made a noise
To keep on quietly reminding you
what's never created or destroyed
Part H (08:59 - 09:11):
x8 - x8 - x8
Part A (09:12 - 09:52):
Same as the first Part A, A minor, C major, and Amaj7 are played with the
two top strings (B and high E) being open, but still strummed.
Wake as the swell peaks
the close-outs drowning the birds with roars
and howls scare the new unkindness
that picks and laughs at the carrion scene
Forces you see breathe
can always go into hiding
and wait 'til it passes over
or stay far gone for all eternity
Let the final Cm chord ring.
Part I (09:55 - 12:10):
major x8 - flat minor x8
Repeat these two chords until the fade-out.
