 Tell me who was  it told you 'bout the broken bones,
 The broken  bones in the sky,
 'Cause I've  been all over the whole  goddamn world,
 And over  the world  am I.
 Now the moon  it ain't nothing but an old  rotten bone,
Hung  from the ceiling so high,
 It reminds  kids to grow and reminds  them to dream,
 But over  the world  am I.
 So my friends  if you're worried,
 Don't worry  about me,
 The grasses  are green  here,
 The winters  are mild,
 And the  hunger is passing,
 It's just  a sensation,
 And over  the world  am I.
, , , , , ]
 Up in  the city it's panic  and toil,
 In every  fiber and vein,
 All dressed  up like kings in their robes  of desire,
 The poets  are going  insane.
 But I've been  to the ocean her salts  they do heal,
 And washed  me anew in her tides,
 And now  I ride easy down her cool  wide waves,
 And over  the world  am I.
 So my friends  if you're worried,
 Don't worry  about me,
 The grasses  are green  here,
 The winters  are mild,
 And the  hunger is passing,
 It's just  a sensation,
 And over  the world  am I.
 Repeat Chorus x2 (So my friends if you're worried...)]
 So my friends  if you're worried,
 Don't worry  about me,
 The grasses  are green  here,
 The winters  are mild,
 And the  hunger is passing,
 It's just  a sensation,
 And over  the world  am I.

Tell me who [E]was it told you 'bout the [A]broken [E]bones,
The [E]broken bones in the [B]sky,
'Cause [E]I've been all over the [A]whole goddamn [E]world,
And [C#m]over the [B]world am [E]I.

Now the [E]moon it ain't nothing but an [A]old rotten [E]bone,
[E]Hung from the ceiling so [B]high,
It re[E]minds kids to grow and re[A]minds them to d[E]ream,
But [C#m]over the [B]world am [E]I.

So my [C#m]friends if you're [Abm]worried,
Don't [A]worry about [E]me,
The g[C#m]rasses are [Abm]green here,
The [A]winters are [B]mild,
And [C#m]the hunger is [Abm]passing,
It's [A]just a [E]sensation,
And [C#m]over the [B]world am [E]I.

In [E]every fiber and [B]vein,
All [E]dressed up like kings in their [A]robes of de[E]sire,
The [C#m]poets are [B]going in[E]sane.

But I've [E]been to the ocean her [A]salts they do [E]heal,
And [E]washed me anew in her [B]tides,
And [E]now I ride easy down her [A]cool wide [E]waves,
And [C#m]over the [B]world am [E]I.

So my [C#m]friends if you're [Abm]worried,
Don't [A]worry about [E]me,
