[Verse 1]

Em Bm7

There's no beginning to the story, a bookshelf sinks into the sand

Cmaj7 G D/F#

And a language learned and forgot, in turn, is studied once again

Em Bm7

It's a shocking bit of footage viewed from a shitty TV screen

Cmaj7 G D/F#

You can squint out into snowy static to make out the meaning

Em Bm7

And keep on stretching the antenna hoping that it will come clear

Cmaj7 G D/F#

We need some reception, a higher message, just tell us what to fear

[Chorus 1]

Am D G Em

'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings

Am D G Em

It's alive with such possibilities

Am D G D/F# Cmaj7

All I know is I feel better when I sing

Burdens are lifted from me

Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F#

That's my voice rising

Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F#

[Verse 2]

Em Bm7

So, Michael, please keep the tape rolling, boys keep strumming those guitars

Cmaj7 G D/F#

We need a record of our failures, yes, we must document our love

Em Bm7

I've sat too long in my silence, I've grown too old in my pain

Cmaj7 G D/F#

To shed this skin, be born again, it starts with an ending

[Chorus 2]

Am D G Em

So thank you, friends, for the time we shared

Am D G Em

My love stays with you like sunlight and air

Am D G D/F# Cmaj7

And though I truly wish I could keep hanging around here

My joy is covering me

Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F#

Soon, I will disappear

Em Bm7 Cmaj7 G D/F#

[Bridge]

It's not a movie

Em/B

No private screening

This method acting

Well, I call that living

It's like a fountain

Em/B

A door has opened

We have a problem

With no solution

Cmaj7 B

But to love and to be loved

[Chorus 3]

Am D G Em

So I've made peace with the falling leaves

Am D G Em

I see their same fate in my own body

Am D G D/F# Cmaj7

But I won't be frightened when I'm awoken from this dream

And returned to that which

Em Bm7 Cmaj7

Gave birth to me

[Outro]

G D/F#

Gave birth to me Gave birth to me

Em Bm7

Gave birth to me

Cmaj7

And the story goes

G D/F#

And the story goes

And it goes on and on and on and on

Bm7

It's going on and on and on and on

Cmaj7

It's going on and on and on and on

G D/F#

It's going on and on and on and on

It's going on and on and on and on
