[ch]Em[/ch]\r\nThere's no beginning to the story[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]Bm7[/ch]\r\nA bookshelf sinks into the sand[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd a language learned, forgot in turn[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]                 [ch]D/F#[/ch]\r\nStudied once again[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]            [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nIt's a shocking bit of footage[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]Bm7[/ch]\r\nViewed on a shitty TV screen[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]C[/ch]\r\nYou can squint at snow and static[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]                 [ch]D/F#[/ch]\r\nTo make out what it means[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]            [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd keep stretching that antenna[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]Bm7[/ch]\r\nHoping that it will come clear[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI need some reception, a higher message[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]                 [ch]D/F#[/ch]\r\nPlease tell me what to feel[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]

[ch]B7add4[/ch]\r\nBurdens are lifted from me[/tab]\r\n[tab]               [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nThat's my voice rising[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]            [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nSo T-Bone, please keep the tape rolling[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]Bm7[/ch]\r\nGil keep strumming that guitar[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWe need a record of our failures[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]                 [ch]D/F#[/ch]\r\nWe must document our love[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]            [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nI sat too long in my silence[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]Bm7[/ch]\r\nGrown too old on my pain[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]C[/ch]\r\nTo shed this skin, be born again[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]                 [ch]D/F#[/ch]\r\nIt starts with an ending[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab]
