 GIn the beginning we were Amscrambled together
Mixed in a Ccelestial bowl and hand Dfluffed with a Dsus2feather
And the Emtears of bliss were not aDmiss
It was a good Cday
GThe second day, we created Amthe earth
TicCkled in irony as we made Dlove upon it's Dsus2girth
And Emto our delight, the Dsun gave us the Cstars
The creGation of the moon was a Ammiracle of light
DesCcended from the rift in the dark Dstar of nightDsus2  
My Gveins pulsed butter as it ilDluminated your Cthighs
On the Gfourth day, we felt comAmpelled to whistle
For Chow could we call the love Dbirds to nestleDsus2  
And keep us Emcompany in this Dworld anew and Cfresh?
[Chorus]
ToCday I paint to life, a portrait Gof the sacred friend, the perfect wifeEm  
In DsynesthesiaC  
Together we have Cfilled the world with colored wine
But the Gstory nears the present time
Of reEmstlessness and waDke up Ccalls
CWake up! Wake up!G  
GYears have flown fast but Amthen who's counting
The Cwars have been won but there's Dfew left staDsus2nding between usEm  
And the Dshadows of Christmas pastC  
CriGtically acclaimed but sadAmly underrated
FortCune definitely favored us, but Dno one celebraDsusted
Our Emwits were Dsplitting at their Cends...
[Chorus]
We Cgazed upon the city lights
We each Glaughed aloud one final time and Emagreed:
This is Done thing we'll Cmiss…
And as we Cheld our breath and forced our will
The Gminutes stopped, the air was still
And miEmnds began to unlearDn their Cfaulted ways
We blasted through the Chills!
They were the first to go, and the most painful soG  
Because we made them first when we learned to bleed
With our Emfingers on the seeds that soweDd in the dirt
And then crCied when we came in the glorious masterwork of life ending
And beGginning again
We ignEmored the pleas of the foreAmst and the seas
As we Cscorched the earth with our tears…
We Cburned them in fear
Until there's Cnothing left
CNothing left
NothiCng, nothing left
But Gus
(Note: play the final G with an anchor on the B-string)

Dsus2

Dsus

G Am

In the beginning we were scrambled together

C D Dsus2

Mixed in a celestial bowl and hand fluffed with a feather

Em D

And the tears of bliss were not amiss

It was a good day

G Am

The second day, we created the earth

C D Dsus2

Tickled in irony as we made love upon it's girth

Em D C

And to our delight, the sun gave us the stars

G Am

The creation of the moon was a miracle of light

C D Dsus2

Descended from the rift in the dark star of night

G D C

My veins pulsed butter as it illuminated your thighs

G Am

On the fourth day, we felt compelled to whistle

C D Dsus2

For how could we call the love birds to nestle

Em D C

And keep us company in this world anew and fresh?

[Chorus]

C G Em

Today I paint to life, a portrait of the sacred friend, the perfect wife

D C

In synesthesia

Together we have filled the world with colored wine

But the story nears the present time

Em D C

Of restlessness and wake up calls

C G

Wake up! Wake up!

G Am

Years have flown fast but then who's counting

C D Dsus2 Em

The wars have been won but there's few left standing between us

D C

And the shadows of Christmas past

G Am

Critically acclaimed but sadly underrated

C D Dsus

Fortune definitely favored us, but no one celebrated

Em D C

Our wits were splitting at their ends...

[Chorus]

We gazed upon the city lights

G Em

We each laughed aloud one final time and agreed:

D C

This is one thing we'll miss…

And as we held our breath and forced our will

The minutes stopped, the air was still

Em D C

And minds began to unlearn their faulted ways

We blasted through the hills!

They were the first to go, and the most painful so

Because we made them first when we learned to bleed

Em D

With our fingers on the seeds that sowed in the dirt

And then cried when we came in the glorious masterwork of life ending

And beginning again

Em Am

We ignored the pleas of the forest and the seas

As we scorched the earth with our tears…

We burned them in fear

Until there's nothing left

Nothing left

Nothing, nothing left

But us

(Note: play the final G with an anchor on the B-string)
