[Verse 1]
B
You can make a plan
F#
Carve it into stone
E
Like a feather falling
B
It is still unknown
B
Until the clock speaks up
F#
Says it's time to go
E
You could choose the high
B
Or the lower road
[Verse 2]
B
You might clinch your fist
F#
You might fork your tongue
E
As you curse or praise
B
All the things you've done
B
And the faders move
F#
And the music dies
E
As we pass over
B
On the arc of time
[Chorus 1]
E
So you nurse your love
F#
Like a wounded dove
B E
In the covered cage of night
E
Every star is crossed
F#
By phrenetic thoughts
B E
That seperate and then collide
G#m
And they twist like sheets
F#
Till you fall asleep
B E
And they finally unwind
E
It's a black balloon
F# B
It's a dream you'll soon deny
[Verse 3]
B
I hear if you make friends
F#
With Jesus Christ
E
You will get right up
B
From that chalk outline
B
And then you'll get dolled up
F#
And you'll dress in white
E
All to take your place
B
In his chorus line
[Chorus 2]
E
And then in you'll come
F#
With those marching drums
B E
In a saintly compromise
E
No more whiskey slurs
F#
No more blonde haired girls
B E
For your whole eternal life
G#m
And you'll do the dance
F#
That was choreographed
B E
At the very dawn of time
E
Saying, I told you son
F#
The day would come
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die
[Chorus 3]
G#m
To the deepest part
F#
Of the human heart
B E
The fear of death expands
G#m
Till we crack the code
F#
We have always known
B E
But could never understand
E
On a circuit board
F#
We will soon be born
B
Again, again, again, again
B
And again, again, again, again
B
And again, again, again, again
B
And again, again, again
