VERSE 1: 
C               G               C               F       C
        Golden ratio	the     shell,

C               G               C               G
   The stairs ascending round themselves                       The

C               G               F               G
trees           rustle as if to kneel and       listen	to the

         The oxygen in priestly green,

C               G               C               G
   The answers dressed in labyrinthine                     The

C               G               F               G
telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic       vision listening to the

heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

Am              G               F               C
        I am assured peace will come to me

F               C               F               C
        A peace that can, yes           surpass the speed yes

Am              G               F               C
        Of my understanding     and my          need


F      G        C               F      G        C

VERSE 2 (Chords as verse 1):
The meteoric warp and wend
In counterbalance to the sparks ever ascending
The arrow time shoots forward though it moves through repetition
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

What is it drives the driven snow?
Upon whose temples will I rest my weary hopes now?
The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice with the
Heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
