Arc Of Time by Bright Eyes

Arc of Time 


B
You can make a plan 
F#
Carve it into stone 
E
Like a feather falling 
B
It is still unknown 
B
Until the clock speaks up 
F#
Says it's time to go 
E
You could choose the high 
B
Or the lower road 
B
You might clinch your fist 
F#
You might fork your tongue 
E
As you curse or praise 
B
All the things you've done 
B
And the faders move 
F#
And the music dies 
E
As we pass over 
B
On the arc of time 

E
So you nurse your love 
F#
Like a wounded dove 
B                                  E
In the covered cage of night 
E
Every star is crossed 
F#
By phrenetic thoughts 
B                                   E
That seperate and then collide 
E
And they twist like sheets 
F#
Till you fall asleep 
B                            E
And they finally unwind 
E
It's a black balloon 
F#                                 B
It's a dream you'll soon deny 

B
I hear if you make friends 
C#m
With Jesus Christ 
E
You will get right up 
B
From that chalk outline 
B
And then you'll get dolled up 
F#
And you'll dress in white 
E
All to take your place 
B
In his chorus line 

E
And then in you'll come 
F#
With those marching drums 
B                              E
In a saintly compromise 
E
No more whiskey slurs 
F#
No more blonde haired girls 
B                              E
For your whole eternal life 
E
And you'll do the dance 
F#
That was choreographed 
B                             E
At the very dawn of time 
E
Saying, I told you son 
F#                       
The day would come 
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 
B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die 

E
To the deepest part 
F#
Of the human heart 
B                              E
The fear of death expands 
E
Till we crack the code 
F#
We have always known 
B                               E
But could never understand 
E
On a circuit board 
F#
We will soon be born 
B
Again, again, again, again 
B
And again, again, again, again 
B
And again, again, again, again 
B
And again, again, again
