Intro:

Verse:
D             Am
Ours is just another skin
 D                Am
That simply slips away

It will shed easily

Chorus:
C                    D
It all will come out fine
C                       D
I've learned it line by line
G   D      Am
One common wire
G   D      Am
One silver thread
G        D   Am
All that you desire
      G   Am
Rolls on ahead

Verse:
D                Am
Like a ship in a bottle
D              Am
Held up to the sun
D              Am
Sails ain't going nowhere
        D     Am
You can count every one
  D              Am
Until it crashes unto the earth
    D            Am
And simply slips away
        D           Am
You can hide in the open
   D      Am
Or just disappear


Chorus:
C                    D
It all will come out fine
C                       D
I've learned it line by line
G   D      Am
One common wire
G   D      Am
One silver thread
G        D   Am
All that you desire
      G   Am
Rolls on ahead
