intro :

C F ( x4 )

verse :

C F C
when it flows from the fingers
F
and turns to stone
C F
it shatters with the touch
C F C
feel the air , breathe it in
F C
turn the corner , take the bend
F
give or take the bend
C F
it’s a spiraling cork – screw path towards you
C F
it’s a sinking , twisted path from me to you

chorus :

F Em Dsus2 C
for a second i saw you so clearly , clearly
F Em Dsus2 C
for a moment i knew you so dearly , dearly
F Em Dsus2 C
i looked into your eyes and into your mind
F Em Dsus2 C
you were laughing like a statue come to life

verse :

C F
the subtle piano raindrops
C F C
the creaking of the buildings and their cellos
F C
the wind was our violin
F C
the sky was a symphonic mural of stars
F C F
hiding behind perfectly placed clouds
C
because everything is the way it is
F C F
and everything is perfect in their imperfections
C F
and everything is placed the best
C F
and it is now , and it is here
C F
and tomorrow is another now
C F
waiting to happen

chorus :

F Em Dsus2 C
the roar of an action silences all the words
F Em
the cry of an accomplishment
Dsus2 C
drowns the whimper of ten thousand words
F Em Dsus2 C
and we live in our actions and our reactions
F Em Dsus2 C
and we live in our actions and our reactions

outro :

F Em Dsus2 C ( x4 )
