[Intro]
  E    D    C    Bx2
[Verse 1]
EThe brilliance of my fleeting Dmind
chimes like vCoices in foreign cBaves
it chimes in Etime - takes me Dwhere I'm going
Alone my Cfleeting mind is knowing
Bbelieve it when I pin it Edown
And Dthat's not Ahard to Eforget
With my hDands upon my knees
AYou will steal from my fleeting Emind
[Verse 2]
ERemember all our words
they are just sDmoke rings in the rain :
that's just a pCoem in brilliant places
but Epoets, they are too grim
they steal like party thieves
from cDrowded rooms
to rhyme their homes Cwith better Bplaces
The brilliance of their Eminds
will seek with Dnever knowing
alone my Cfleeting mind is knowing
Bbelieve it when I pin it Edown
And Dthat's not Ahard to Eforget
with my Dthought like sifting leaves
AI believe in my fleeting Emind.
(Solo)
The brilliance of their Eminds
will seek with Dnever knowing
alone my Cfleeting mind is knowing
Bbelieve it when I pin it Edown
And Dthat's not Ahard to Eforget   x4 to fade

they are just smoke rings in the rain :

that's just a poem in brilliant places

but poets, they are too grim

they steal like party thieves

from crowded rooms

C B

to rhyme their homes with better places

The brilliance of their minds

will seek with never knowing

alone my fleeting mind is knowing

B E

believe it when I pin it down

D A E

And that's not hard to forget

with my thought like sifting leaves

A E

I believe in my fleeting mind.

(Solo)

The brilliance of their minds

will seek with never knowing

alone my fleeting mind is knowing

B E

believe it when I pin it down

D A E

And that's not hard to forget x4 to fade
