         Em                        
There's no beginning to the story, 
        Bm7
a bookshelf sinks into the sand
     C                             
And a language learned and forgot, 
           G  F#/D
in turn, is studied once again
      Em                      
It's a shocking bit of footage 
              Bm7
viewed from a shitty TV screen
       C                           
You can squint out into snowy 
    G  F#/D
static to make out the meaning
           Em                      
And keep on stretching the antenna 
          Bm7
hoping that it will come clear
            C                   
We need some reception, a higher 
              G  F#/D
message, just tell us what to fear

      Am      D         G  F#/D 
'Cause I don't know what 
     Em
tomorrow brings
    Am     D               G  
It's alive with such 
F#/D    Em
possibilities
Am    D              G      
All I know is I feel better 
F#/D     Cmaj7
when I sing
           B+
Burdens are lifted from me
                 Em   Bm7 C G F#/D
That's my voice rising

            Em                   
So, Michael, please keep the tape 
                   Bm7
rolling, boys keep strumming those 
guitars
         C                       
We need a record of our failures, 
             G  F#/D
yes, we must document our love
    Em                          
I've sat too long in my silence, 
           Bm7
I've grown too old in my pain
  C                                
To shed this skin, be born again, 
    G  F#/D
it starts with an ending

  Am         D                G  
So thank you, friends, for the 
F#/D  Em
time we shared
       Am          D           G  
My love stays with you like 
F#/D   Em
sunlight and air
            Am     D              
And though I truly wish I could 
   G       F#/D      Cmaj7
keep hanging around here
         B+
My joy is covering me
                 Em  Bm7 C G F#/D
Soon, I will disappear

Em Bm7 C G F#/D

C
It's not a movie
Em
No private screening
Am
This method acting
        D
Well, I call that living
  C
It's like a fountain
Em
A door has opened
Am
We have a problem
     D
With no solution
      Cmaj7             B+
But to love and to be loved

  Am        D              G   
So I've made peace with the 
F#/D   Em
falling leaves
     Am          D          G   
I see their same fate in my own 
F#/D Em
body
           Am      D              
But I won't be frightened when I'm
G      F#/D         Cmaj7
 awoken from this dream
     B+
And returned to that which
             Em Bm7 C G F#/D
Gave birth to me

Em Bm7 C G F#/D
Gave birth to me
Gave birth to me
Gave birth to me
And the story goes
And the story goes
And it goes on and on and on and on
It's going on and on and on and on
