Capo on the 2nd fret


All this to say,
A5
our future is a blank page
           C#5
that we chose to pour ourselves into
     D5
when God pressed play.
                     A5

and we'll drag our pens
A5
into these parallel lines
            C#5
to record and to articulate
     D5
everything we find.
              A5 *       A5

as decades unlace,
    F5              E5
we'll pause and carefully trace;
                D5
our shadows are puddles of ink
   E5
that our memory saves.
                A5

layer by layer, the framework was formed
D5
on an epic of paper:
       E5
we breathe to explore.

fast-forward motion
D5
will gracefully show

the flickering story
    E5
that all of our sketches unfold.
                           A5

before we were born
A5
God gently told us the truth,
           C#5
but understanding is something that stops
         D5
as our bodies bruise.
                     A5 *   A5

so we'll concentrate,
    F5
constantly rewinding tapes.
E5          D5  
was the ghost just a glare on the lens
E5
that our minds create?
              A6? (202200)
our minds create...
E5          D5
when God pressed play.
                 A5

layer by layer, the framework was formed
D5
on an epic of paper:
       E5
we breathe to explore.

and fast-forward motion
    D5
will gracefully show

the flickering story
     E5
that all of our sketches unfold.
                               A5
