Intro:

F#5 G# F# C# G# C#

Verse:
C#            F#
  Zena you've squared your toes
                              C#
But your friendly nose hangs around

Verse:
       C#                     F#
You're still a ballerina everybody knows
                         C#
but your feet are on the ground

Chorus:
F#5                           F#                           D#m
  But as the years go by and points comply with evermore relief
     G#m           C#         G#
then patterns in repeat can begin

Verse:
   C#                      F#
To have your children your flock of birds
                      C#
your branch among the wood

Verse:
       C#                        F#
You'll try to tell them but your lost for words
                          C#
'cause it's so absurd how good

Chorus:
F#5
  And as those years go by
              F#                    D#m
They'll look upon you kindly like a friend
  G#m          C#             G#
A pattern in repeat and never ends

Verse:
C#                   F#
Pulled for meaning I arched my back
                                 C#
And then from the black you were born

Verse:
C#                 F#
Forward leaning at first abstract
                       C#
You soon contract into form

Chorus:
    F#5                       F#
And now as time leaps by and starts to fly
                    D#m            G#m           C#             D#m    C#
And only then can I see that we're patterns in repeat and we'll always be

Outro:
C# F# C# F# C# F# C#
