   B (Em) B (Em)
So now the years are rolling by, and
 it’s not long since you and I

           G#m                    
could have been train drivers and 
E  Gb  B
astronauts

   B (Em) B (Em)
And now we’re stuck in furnished 
ruts, but yet the thing that really 
cuts

           G#m                E  
is that we can’t remember how we 
Gb  B (Em)
got caught

  B (Em)  B (Em)
Filtered air,computer screens, 
muffled sighs and might-have-beens –

           G#m                     
count your blessings, then breathe,
     E     Gb  B (Em)
 and count to ten

  B (Em)  B (Em)
And though it doesn’t often show, we
 are scared because we know

           G#m                  
our forefathers were farmers and 
 E  Gb   G#m
fishermen

G#m               Eb             
   E          Gb
            G#m
       And so the world has changed,
 worse or better’s hard to tell,

       Eb           E             
but my hope remains    within the 
Gb
arms of Isabel


   B (Em) B (Em)
So now our calloused hands once told
 a story honest as it’s old

          G#m       E  Gb    B
of sowing seeds and setting sail.

   B (Em) B (Em)
But now our hands are soft and weak 
and working seven days a week

            G#m                    
at these salvation schemes that are
 E     Gb  G#m
 bound to fail

back to chorus


   C#m                            
   And I’ll admit that I am scared
Bm       Gb
 of what I don’t understand.

C#                                
    But darling, if you’re there, 
Bm        Gb
gentle voice and soothing hands

C#                       Bm    Gb
   Eb                      E
    to quiet my despair,    to shore
 up all my plans,      darling, if 
you’re there...

G#m              Eb              
   E     Gb
        G#m
      And so the world has changed, 
 and I must change as well

    Eb                  E         
The machines we’ve made   will 
Gb             G#m
damn us into hell

        Eb            E      Gb  
And the time will come when all 
                   G#m
must save themselves.

       Eb          E        Gb
I will save my soul in the arms of 
Isabel
