Dm Am
So goodnight my dear
A#
Hope you're feeling well
F G
Hope your're feeling very clear
Dm Am
In this song and rhyme
A#
Thoughts of changes that
F G
Keep ourselves intact
Dm Am
And yes, it's hard to fake
A#
but I'm faltering
F G
In the steps I'm about to take
Dm Am
I am sure it's true
A# F G
What is all for me is much the same to you
Dm Am
If all the statues in the world
A#
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
F G
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
Dm Am
The setting sun is set in stone
A#
And it remains for me alone
F G
To carve my own and set it free
Instrumental Part: Dm Am A# F G (1x)
Dm Am
So we wait and see
A#
How this backward chapter reads
F G
In verse inadvertently
Dm Am
And it feels like fading light
A#
But that's all that's left
F G
Only what's left is right
Dm Am
If all the statues in the world
A#
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
F G
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
Dm Am
The setting sun is set in stone
A#
And it remains for me alone
F G
To carve my own and set it free
Spoken Verse:
Dm
Jumping from a balloon
Am
A carried aloft by a parachute in June
A#
Twisting round and round
F G
Well I hope the ground is what you find
Dm Am
The setting sun is set in stone
A#
And it remains for me alone
F G
To carve my own and set it free
