 Well, he said  it like he meant  it
 But he did  not really care
 So I sat  upon the Eve's  embraces
I  was never there  -
 No, I was never  really fabled
 I was never  really lost
 I was cunning  through this habit  of mine
 Y'see all  the words were lost
 Yes, all  the words were lost

 And you can stand  upon your own  life
 Say it always  seemed to seal
 There were smiles  upon the picture
 But I don't  know what to feel
 And I told  a million stories
 And I sat  down to risk half
 But I never  really meant  it
 'Til you came  and stole my heart  away
 You came  and stole my heart  away

 And even  if your real  thought hid
thousand  words way

 It all  came back today
 It all,  it all, all,  all
All  came back today

All  came back today

 Well, the rain  scales up
 And your soul  is drowned
 And mother's  saying still raise  a frown
 And mother's  saying still makes  you see
 What you  have lost instead  of me

 And even  if the starlight  falls
 And takes  your breath away
 You still  stare up towards  the toss
 I don't  know what to say
 I don't  know how to be  alone
 With some  kind fretless friend
 And even  though the Harvest  brings
 Well, we all  begin again
 Yes we all  begin again
 And even  if your real  thought hid
thousand  words way
 And even  if you never  knew
 It all  came back today
 It all,  it all, all,  all
All  came back today
 It all,  it all, all,  all
All  came back today
I  would like this sun
 Be spoke  until I find
I  was all remembrance
 Until  the words got tired
,],]

 And even  if your walk  grows stale
 And you  got nothing left
 I caught  the stylist, the sun,  the soul,
There  is a second breath  to take
 Yes, there  is a second

I've marked the start of each bar with [D*] and [G*] respectively below
(other than between each verse, where I've put in [D,D/C#] and [G,D] for each bar).

[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]
[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]

Well, he [D*]said it like he [G*]meant it
But he [D*]did not really [G*]care
So I [D*]sat upon the [G*]Eve's embraces
[D*]I was never [G*]there -
No, I was [D*]never really [G*]fabled
I was [D*]never really [G*]lost
I was [D*]cunning through this [G*]habit of mine
Y'see [D*]all the words were [G*]lost
Yes, [D*]all the words were [G*]lost

[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]
[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]

And you can [D*]stand upon your [G*]own life
Say it [D*]always seemed to [G*]seal
There were [D*]smiles upon the [G*]picture
But I [D*]don't know what to [G*]feel
And I [D*]told a million [G*]stories
And I [D*]sat down to risk [G*]half
But I [D*]never really [G*]meant it
'Til you [D*]came and stole my [G*]heart away
You [D*]came and stole my [G*]heart away

[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]
[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]

And [A]even if your [D]real thought hid
[A] [G]thousand words [A][D]way
And [A]even if you [D]never knew
It [G]all came back to[D]day
It [A]all, it all, [A]all, all
[G]All came back to[D]day
It [A]all, it all, [A]all, all
[G]All came back to[D]day

[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]
[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]

Well, the [D*]rain scales up
And your [G*]soul is drowned
And [D*]mother's saying still [G*]raise a frown
And [D*]mother's saying still [G*]makes you see
What [D*]you have lost ins[G*]tead of me

[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]

And [A]even if your [D]real thought hid
[A] [G]thousand words [A][D]way
And [A]even if you [D]never knew
It [G]all came back to[D]day
It [A]all, it all, [A]all, all
[G]All came back to[D]day
It [A]all, it all, [A]all, all
[G]All came back to[D]day

[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]
[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]

And [D*]even if the [G*]starlight falls
And [D*]takes your breath a[G*]way
You [D*]still stare up to[G*]wards the toss
I [D*]don't know what to [G*]say
I [D*]don't know how to [G*]be alone
With [D*]some kind fretless [G*]friend
And [D*]even though the [G*]Harvest brings
Well, we [D*]all begin a[G*]gain
Yes we [D*]all begin a[G*]gain

And [A]even if your [D]real thought hid
[A] [G]thousand words [A][D]way
And [A]even if you [D]never knew
It [G]all came back to[D]day
It [A]all, it all, [A]all, all
[G]All came back to[D]day
It [A]all, it all, [A]all, all
[G]All came back to[D]day

[A]I would like this [D]sun
Be [G]spoke until I [D]find
[A]I was all re[D]membrance
Un[G]til the words got [D]tired

[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]
[[D],[D/C#]][[G],[D]]

And [D*]even if your [G*]walk grows stale
And [D*]you got nothing [G*]left
I [D*]caught the stylist, the [G*]sun, the soul,
[D*]There is a second [G*]breath to take
Yes, [D*]there is a [G*]second
