Intro: Bm7(6) E minor 7Em7 Bm7(6) E minor 7Em7 repeat: G+G C majorC

C9C9           Em9Em9
Out on some borderline
F/GF/G           C majorC
Some mark of in between
C9C9       G+G   Bb/Eb
I lay down golden in time
C majorC        G+G
And woke up vanishing
A/D       C/FC/F  G+G C majorC
Sweet bird you are
C9C9           G+G
Briefer than a falling star
C9C9               G+G
All these vain promises on beauty jars
F/GF/G
Somewhere with your wings on time
C9C9
You must be laughing

A/D   C/FC/F  G+G C majorC
Behind our eyes
C9C9         G+G
Calendars of our lives
C9C9         G+G
Circled with compromise
F/GF/G
Sweet bird of time and change
C9C9
You must be laughing
G+G            C9C9
Up on your feathers laughing

Interlude:
Intro:

C9C9       Em9Em9
Golden in time
F/GF/G        C majorC
Cities under the sand
C9C9        Em9Em9
Power ideals and beauty
Bb/Eb      C9C9    G+G
Fading in everyone's hand

A/D       C/FC/F  G+G C majorC
Give me some time
C9C9           G+G
I feel like I'm losing mine
C9C9            G+G
Out here on this horizon line
F/GF/G
With the earth spinning
C9C9            G+G
And the sky forever rushing
A/D   C/FC/F  G+G C majorC
No one knows
C9C9            G+G
They can never get that close
C9C9      G+G
Guesses at most
C9C9                               Em9Em9
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
C9C9                               Em9Em9
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Bm7(6) E minor 7Em7          Bm7(6)     E minor 7Em7
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
