[Verse 1]
Em Dm Bdim/D Dm7 C
Up in the clouds is where I live
G#dim Am D G
Down in the ground is where I'll end up
C F G G#dim Am
For half a century, till the water
Dm G C Csus4 C
Washes me away
[Verse 2]
Em Dm Bdim/D Dm7 C
Every morning, it's the same
G#dim Am D G
Coffee and memories fill my cup up
C F G G#dim Am
I drink 'em down on this merry-go - round
Dm G C Csus4 C
That spins me through the days
[Chorus]
Gm F F C
And I've been thinking that I should learn
Dm C G
How to do something new with my time
Gm F F C
Dig my hands in the dirt, build something that works
D7 G G7
Get all my loose ends tied
[Verse 3]
Em Dm Bdim/D Dm7 C
Open my window, birds still sing
G#dim Am D7 G
I wanna learn all of their songs
C F G G#dim Am
Sometime this century till the water
Dm G C Csus4 C
Washes us away
[Solo]
