[Verse]
G D
You can make a plan, carve it into stone
C G
Like a feather falling, it is still unknown
G D
Until the clock speaks up, says it's time to go
C G
You could choose the high or the lower road
G D
You might clench your fist, you might fork your tongue
C G
As you curse or praise all the things you've done
G D
And the faders move and the music dies
C G
As we pass over on the arc of time
[Chorus]
C D
So you nurse your love like a wounded dove
G C
In the covered cage of night
C D
Every star is crossed by frenetic thoughts
G C
That separate and then collide
Em D
And they twist like sheets till you fall asleep
G C
And they finally unwind
C
It's a black balloon
D G
It's a dream you'll soon deny
[Verse]
G D
I hear if you make friends with Jesus Christ
C G
You will get right up from that chalk outline
G D
And then you'll get dolled up and you'll dress in white
C G
All to take your place in his chorus line
[Chorus]
C D
And then in you'll come with those marching drums
G C
In a saintly compromise
C D
No more whiskey slurs, no more blonde haired girls
G C
For your whole eternal life
Em D
And you'll do the dance that was choreographed
G C
At the very dawn of time
C D
Singing I told you son the day would come
G
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
G
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
G
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
G
You would die, you'd die, you'd die
[Chorus]
Em D
To the deepest part of the human heart
G C
The fear of death expands
Em D
Until we crack the code we have always known
G C
But could never understand
C D
On a circuit board we will soon be born
G
Again and again and again and again
G
And again and again and again and again
G
And again and again and again and again
G
And again and again and again
