G+G B7B7 C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D/F#D/F#

      G+G           B7B7      C majorC       G+G

Now as our poor young lungs deflate, I'll admit I've gotten older

      C majorC     G+G          D MajorD      D/F#D/F#

Mellowed out, chatting up those I used to hate

            G+G          B7B7    C majorC      G+G

The feeling that we're lost will always fade, I present no explanation

     C majorC       G+G      D MajorD     D/F#D/F#

Can't expect our tired patience to satiate for long

          C majorC             G+G

And therein lies a truth we can sip when we want

          C majorC           G+G

Disciples of the flow we can float anywhere

          C majorC             G+G

If ever there's a drought I've listed the puddles

       D MajorD      D/F#D/F#

Proven to better coax the divine out from within

  G+G     B7B7    C majorC         G+G

    Bum, bum, bum, buh duh duh, dum,


            C majorC        G+G       D MajorD      D/F#D/F#

Buh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh, duh, dum

           G+G          B7B7

Remember there's more road, and places to go

          C majorC             G+G

And patterns to contemplate, more people to fornicate

            C majorC         G+G               D MajorD            D/F#D/F#

And remember there's a lot of good omens supplying the proof that our life is the best joke ever told

        G+G          B7B7

Remember its a joke, and leave it alone.

      C majorC         G+G

Let go and try to be always abiding

          C majorC           G+G            D MajorD               D/F#D/F#

Remember if there's one good reason for dying, the sweet silver lining, through you she lives on

          C majorC              G+G

And therein lies a coast we can see through the fog

          C majorC            G+G

An island in our thoughts can be heaven on Earth

      C majorC         G+G            D MajorD       D/F#D/F#

I swear to God if I haven't wandered all over then I haven't done something that's worth telling at all

  G+G     B7B7    C majorC         G+G

    Bum, bum, bum, buh duh duh, dum,


            C majorC        G+G       D MajorD      D/F#D/F#

Buh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh, duh, dum

      D MajorD (hold)                C majorC (hold)

After the hell that you've been through, what could I even say?

       G+G        B7B7

Our Auntie Earth will take us in

    C majorC         G+G

She awaits our battered shells

       C majorC       G+G      D MajorD         D/F#D/F#

I'll try to lay as close as I can to you, but while we're breathing I should tell you

      G+G          B7B7

From the depths of the void I will

      C majorC         G+G

Love you for your growing crows feet

      C majorC       G+G        D MajorD D/F#D/F#

And fully adore the contradictions that we live, as all I can give


  G+G     B7B7    C majorC        C majorC

    Bum, bum, bum, buh duh duh, dum,


            G+G        G+G      D MajorD       C majorC

Buh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh, duh, dum

   G+G (hold)

Buh, dum
