Intro
G B7 C G – – Em C D/F#
Verse 1
G B7 C G C G D D/F# x2
Now as our poor young lungs deflate, I'll admit I've gotten older, mellowed out, chatting up those I used to hate
The feeling that we're lost will always fade, I present no explanation, can't expect our tired patiente to satiate for long

Chorus 1
C G C G C G D D/F#
And therein lies a truth we can sip when we want, disciples of the flow we can float anywhere
If ever there's a drought I've listed the puddles proven to better coax the divine out from within

Break 1
G B7 Em C G Em C D
Verse 2
G Bm Em C G Em C D x2
Remember there's more road, and places to go, and patterns to contemplate, more people to fornicate
And remember there's a lot of good omens supplying the proof that our life is the best joke ever told
Remember it's a joke, and leave it alone, let go and try to be always abiding
Remember if there's one good reason for dying, the sweet silver lining, through you she lives on

Chorus 2
C G C G C G D D/F#
And therein lies a coast we can see through the fog, an island in our thoughts can be heaven on Earth
I swear to God if I haven't wandered all over then I haven't done something that's worth telling at all

Break 2
G B7 Em – – C – – Am D/F#
Bridge
D C D C
After all the hell that you've been through, what could I even say? Our Auntie Earth will take us in

G B7 C G C G D D/F# x2
She awaits our battered shells, I'll try to lay as close as I can to you, but while we're breathing I should tell you
From the depths of the void I will, love you for your growing crow's feet
And fully adore the contradictions that we live, as all I can give

Outro
G B7 Em – – C – – D Am G – –
