[Verse]
Clate new years eve paper Fhat on your Chead
Amit was hard to believe that you'd Fever be Cdead
Cin that dream that you're falling you've Fhad since youC're five
Amthere's a bird on your shoulder that Fwhispers Cgoodbye.
[Chorus]
Amwhat is moving will be Estill
what is Fgathered will dCisperse
what has been Ambuilt up will Ecollapse
all of your Fdreams are fulAmfilledG  
(Repeat the chords for the verse and chorus)
liza minelli spent a month in a bed
she was sure that skylab would fall on her head
evel knievel shot up from dead grass
and i loved him better each time that he crashed
what is moving will be still
what is gathered will disperse
what has been built up will collapse
all of your dreams are fulfilled
[Whistle Verse]
last night i dreamed that i dug my own grave
and i crawl down inside and patiently wait
down in the ground while i breathe the cold air
black birds come down and set a nest in my hair
what is moving will be still
what is gathered will disperse
what has been built up will collapse
all of your dreams are fulfilled
