[Intro]
| E | E | E | E | E |
| E | E | E | E |
 
[Verse 1]
Eadd9 Emadd9
Along the green water
Eadd9 Emadd9
The soldier sang spring moons away
Eadd9 D6sus2 Dmaj7/C#
And the soldier had a brother who ran
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
And he’s calling out for blossoms
 
[Verse 2]
Eadd9 Emadd9
Blame the way the sky looked
Eadd9 Emadd9
When those planes fell down the ground, the nines
Eadd9 Emadd9
By tens, there is a beginning
Eadd9 D6sus2 Dmaj7/C#
And another, again and again
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
We won't rest here by the hour
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
Only weightless when you let them
 
[Verse 3]
Eadd9 Emadd9
So measure, measure on
Eadd9 Emadd9
And feel the way I thought of you tonight
Eadd9 D6sus2 Dmaj7/C#
From so many miles away across time and reach
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
Of the engines and the furies
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
Of the engines and the furies
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
Sunset damage by the mouthful
 
[Verse 4]
Eadd9 Emadd9
The others hardly heard them
Eadd9 Emadd9
They kept traveling in circles
Eadd9 D6sus2 Dmaj7/C#
And drifted back in to seven notches above
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
"The top of the world" you called it
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
Set the towers on fire
 
[Verse 5]
Eadd9 Emadd9
Just to feel the space beyond
Eadd9 Emadd9
You won't rest again here
Eadd9 D6sus2 Dmaj7/C#
Burn up the hours, collect them by the pound
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
And you won't know how it goes down
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
And we won't know how it goes down
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
Falling back to water
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
And you won't know how it goes down
Aadd9 F#7add11 E
And we won't know how it goes down
 
[Outro]
