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
