Intro:
Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
Verse 1:
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
So does the ink dry out
G+G
So does the singing mouth get sung up
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
So does the new headline no longer reach the town
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
So does the rosy fire of the horizon fade into dull grey
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
While the trees out by the parking lot get greener with the rain
Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm E minorEm
On a dazzling field of blue
A minorAm G+G
She comes sailing into view
A minorAm C/GC/G D MajorD
All around her engines scream and guns unload

But you were bigger than life

And now you're mostly just your mind
G+G G+G
And your dim eyes, and your fractured spine
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
And you're sailing to the great unknown

But you've gotta go alone there

You can't even take your childhood bride
G+G G+G
But it's okay that she's crying

With her OS2U fleet

And this great big buzzing death-hole swells

At the corner of the carpet

Nurses going in and out

Well they all just step around it
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
And the room is moving in so close
