Verse 1:
D                      C          Bb
I crowned the same old passing of time
D         Bb                          Cm
Gave the golden scepter though it was never really mine
D                    C    F  D
He made the days all pass me by
D       Bb                    Cm
In such idyllic swiftness, he didn't even try

Chorus:
D                             C
And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears
D                   Cm
Tenderly, until all sound disappears
D                   C
Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees
D                        Cm              D
Vigorously. Well, it has stopped to move me
Am      Eb    D   Bb    Am      Eb   D
       Ahhhh

Verse 2:
D                      C
I praised the same old spending of time
D                    Bb
Slept on the whitest beaches in the calmest of nights
D                        Cm        Bb
They held me chained and captive so I
D                               Cm            C
Could never join the sea in its ever changing tides

Bridge:
C         Bb     D
If I'm to let it in
C             Eb    D
It might just stay forever
    C      Eb          D
For if I'm to welcome him
C            Eb        D
We might just stay together
Am      Eb    D   Bb    Am      Eb   D
       Ahhhh

Verse 3:
D          G             Cm         Bb
The crown remains, it’s always been mine
F                  D             G    Cm     G  Gb
I ought to wear it better, I ought to know it now

Chorus:
D                             C
And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears
D                   Cm
Tenderly, until all sound disappears
D                   C                     Eb
Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees
D                        Cm              D
Vigorously. Well, it has stopped to move me

Outro:
Am     Eb    D   Bb    Am    Gb   D
       Ahhhh
