[Verse 1]
Some Gplans were made, and Amrice was thrown
A Chouse was built, a Dbaby born
How Ctime can move both fDast and slow
AGmazes me
And so I Graise my glass to sAmymmetry
To the Csecond hand and its aDccuracy
To the Cactual size of eDverything
The Gdesert is the sand
You can't hold it Emin your hand
It won't bow to Cyour demands
There's no dAmifference you can make
There's no dDifference you can make
And if it seems like an Emaccident
A collage of Csenselessness
You aren't lAmooking hard enough
I wasn't Dlooking hard enough
At iCmt
[Instrumental]
G D C D C D G
[Verse 2]
An Gargument for cAmonsciousness
The Cinstinct of the bDlind insect
Who Cmakes love to the fDlower bed
And Gdies in the first freeze
Oh, I Gwant to learn such sAmimple things
No Cpolitics, no hDistory
'Til Cwhat I want and wDhat I need
Can Gfinally be the same
I just got myEmself to blame
Leave everything Cup to fate
When there's cAmhoices I could make
When there's cDhoices I could make
Yeah, my heart needs a Empolygraph
Always so eager to Cpack my bags
When I rAmeally wanna stay
When I rDeally wanna stay
When I wEmanna stay (When I wanna stay)
When I wCanna stay (When I wanna stay)
When I wAmanna stay (When I wanna stay)
When I wDanna stay (When I wanna stay)
When I wCmanna stay
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The aGrc of time, the stench of sex
The iGnnocence you can't protect
Each quDarter note, each marble step
Walk Dup and down that lonely treble clef
  CEach wanting the next one
  CEach wanting the next one to arrive
  GEach wanting the next one
  DEach wanting the next one to arrive
An aGrgument for consciousness
The iGnstinct of the blind insect
Who nDever thinks not to accept
Its fDate; that's faith, there's happiness in death
  CYou give to the next one
  CYou give to the next on down the line
  GYou give to the next one
  DYou give to the next on down the line
The Glevity of longing that
DisGtills each dream inside my head
By Dmorning, watered-down, forget
On sDilver stars, I wish and wish and wish
  CFrom one to the next one
  CFrom one to the next right down the line
  GFrom one to the next one
  DFrom one to the next right down the line

[Verse 1]

G Am

Some plans were made, and rice was thrown

C D

A house was built, a baby born

C D

How time can move both fast and slow

Amazes me

G Am

And so I raise my glass to symmetry

C D

To the second hand and its accuracy

C D

To the actual size of everything

The desert is the sand

You can't hold it in your hand

It won't bow to your demands

There's no difference you can make

And if it seems like an accident

A collage of senselessness

You aren't looking hard enough

I wasn't looking hard enough

At it

[Instrumental]

G D C D C D G

[Verse 2]

G Am

An argument for consciousness

C D

The instinct of the blind insect

C D

Who makes love to the flower bed

And dies in the first freeze

G Am

Oh, I want to learn such simple things

C D

No politics, no history

C D

'Til what I want and what I need

Can finally be the same

I just got myself to blame

Leave everything up to fate

When there's choices I could make

Yeah, my heart needs a polygraph

Always so eager to pack my bags

When I really wanna stay

When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)

When I wanna stay

[Instrumental]

G D C G D

[Verse 3]

The arc of time, the stench of sex

The innocence you can't protect

Each quarter note, each marble step

Walk up and down that lonely treble clef

Each wanting the next one

Each wanting the next one to arrive

Each wanting the next one

Each wanting the next one to arrive

An argument for consciousness

The instinct of the blind insect

Who never thinks not to accept

Its fate; that's faith, there's happiness in death

You give to the next one

You give to the next on down the line

You give to the next one

You give to the next on down the line

The levity of longing that

Distills each dream inside my head

By morning, watered-down, forget

On silver stars, I wish and wish and wish

From one to the next one

From one to the next right down the line

From one to the next one

From one to the next right down the line

G D

You give to the next one

You give to the next on down the line

You give to the next one

You give to the next on down the line

[Outro]
