Verse 1 chords: 
C                                                      G
Golden ratio, the shell, stares at sand around themselves
    C      G              F         C
The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen
    C                         G                   C
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat
C                                                          G
The oxygen and priestly green, Hanel's dressed in labryrinthine
    C          G                  F             C
The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic fission, listen
    C                        G                    C
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, hey, hey, hey, hey


Chorus 1 chords:
F      C            F       C          Am        G               F          C
  I am assured, yes, I am assured, yes,  I am assured peace will come to me
F              C        F             C          Am        G
  A peace that can, yes,  surpass the speed, yes,   of my understanding
F             C   [start intro riff]
They're in my need


Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
A meteor wortquarp[?] and when, can it balance in the sparks of her ascending
The aero-time shoots forward though it moves through repitition
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, hey, hey, hey, hey
What is it that drives the driven snow now
Upon his temples will I rest my weary hopes now
The rain distills then steeples fills the years of lonely church mice
With the heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, hey, hey, hey, hey


Chorus 2: [use chorus 1 chords]
I am assured, yes, I am assured, yes, I am assured peace will come to me
A peace that can, yes, surpass the speed, yes, of my understanding
They're in my need


Outro: [repeat chorus 1 chords x2]
