Intro: A minorAm


Verse 1:
All my life I've been treading
paper in the space between the words
  A augmentedA FF
And there implied is that
                 A augmentedA
I'm but another body for the birds
A minorAm
carrion absurd and accidental
FF       A minorAm A augmentedA
atoms beating air
A minorAm
carrying on unwitting orphan
   A augmentedA       A minorAm
of an unyielding despair


Guitar Solo: A minorAm  x2


Verse 2:
  A minorAm
But linger on just for a moment
   DmDm     A augmentedA
until we can ascertain if
Amsomething's wrong with me

Or the assumptions of these
DmDm      A augmentedA
self indicted brains
    A minorAm       G+G
Because I contend that all

of this is more than just
 DmDm       A augmentedA
a meaningless charade
   A minorAm
That each and every moment is
               A(hold)
a bottle with a message hid away

Chorus 1:
FF    A minorAm       G+G
 If anything means anything
      DmDm      A minorAm
There must be something meant
     G+G  FF
for us to be a song
   A minorAm       G+G
that we were made to sing
      DmDm
There must be so much
A minorAm        G+G
more than we can see


Verse 3:
  A minorAm      G+G
But all our lives we've
been treading paper
    FF        A augmentedA
in the space between the words
  A minorAm         G+G
And there implied's the thought
that we are barely more than
FF       A augmentedA   A minorAm
bodies for the birds carrion
   G+G
They say that we're just accidental
DmDm      A augmentedA  A minorAm       G+G
atoms beating air carrying on and on
            DmDm
Unwitting orphans of an unyielding
  A augmentedA
despair


Bridge:
DmDm
 But our hearts
         FF
tell a different story
DmDm              E MajorE
 our hands feel a different pulse


Chorus 2:

Silence:
FF    C majorC       G+G
 If anything means anything
      FF      C majorC
There must be something meant
     G+G
for us to be

Distortion:
FF    A minorAm       G+G
 If anything means anything
      DmDm      A minorAm
There must be something meant
     G+G FF
for us to be a song
   A minorAm       G+G
that we were made to sing
      DmDm
There must be so much
A minorAm        G+G
more than we can see


Outro:
     FF         DmDm
Something fathomless deeper than our
        FF        DmDm
pride can dive numinous higher than
          FF
Our hearts can rise transcendent
    DmDm
further than our thoughts
     FF
can reach immanent
    DmDm       A(hold)
