Intro: Dm Am G / Dm Am C G
Dm Am
As the earth swung
C G
This golden hum
Dm Am G
Seemed to wash over me
Am
As the bells ringed
C G
I heard you sing
Am G
And it called me out to sea
F C
You said how did you know
Am Em
That fine living makes you slow
F C
How could you know I was the one
F C
And how could you see
Am Em
Impossibility
Am C G E
As far as you know I am your son Ohh ohhh
F Am C G
Dm Am C G
See I woke up frail and perfect
Dm Am G Em
See I woke up tired and warm
Dm Am C G
As the old man stands to judge us all
Dm Am G
I believe I am reborn
F C
You said how could we know
Am Em
Fine living makes you slow
F C
How could I know you were the one
F C
I said how could you see
Am Em
Impossibility
Am C G E
As far as I know I am your sun Ohh ohhh
Dm Am
I swore
C G
Forever more
Dm Am G
I would stand up bright and clear
C Am C G
As we rise above our doubts and fears
Dm Am G
Singing out so all may hear
