G      Dm       Am    Em
Lost capacity - for infinity
F       E        Am E         G
You and I, are idly gathering moss

G         Dm        Am        G
Fields of industry; death by misery
F       E      Am
you and me are idly
F       E      Am             G
you and me are idly gathering moss

G     Dm        Am      Em 
False security; faked insanity;
F       E   Am        E       G
you and I, united by itemized bills

G        Dm        Am        Em
Kills my sympathy, builds my agony
F       E      Am
you and me are idly
F       E      Am             G
you and me are idly gathering moss

G            C
But when you see me,
        Bb   F            Am    
I'll be idly sweeping the dust away,
A
dust away
G                    C
Look, here comes the shore again,
          Bb        F      Am      A
and we'll aim there to be merry

F       E      Am
you and me are idly
F       E      Am
you and me are idly

F       E   Am
you and me, gathering moss
F       E   Am
you and me, gathering moss
