Intro G

VERSE 1
           G
So now the years are rolling by

its not long since you and i
D/F#       Em7                   Cadd9 D   G
could have been train drivers or astronauts

and now we're stuck in furniushed ruts
and yeah the thing that really cuts
is we cant remember how we got caught

VERSE 2

filtered air computer screens
muffled sighs and might have beens
count your blessings then breathe and count to ten

and though it doesnt often show
we are scared because we know
that our forefathers were farmers and fishermen

CHORUS

Em7         D         Cadd9
and so the world has changed
          D
worse or better's hard to tell
Em7     D         Cadd9
but my hope remains
           D            G
within the arms of isabel

VERSE 3

so now our calloused hands once told
a story honest as it’s old
of sowing seeds and setting sail

but now our hands are soft and weak
and working seven days a week
at the salvations schemes that are bound to fai

CHORUS

Em7         D         Cadd9
and so the world has changed
          D
worse or better's hard to tell
Em7     D         Cadd9
but my hope remains
           D            
within the arms of isabel

MIDDLE 8

Am
I'll admit that i am scared
G           Dsus2/F#
of what i dont understand
Am
darling if you're there
G          Dsus2/F#
gentle voices soothing hands
Am
to quiten my despair
G        Dsus2/F#     Am
to show off all my plans
G/B               C Cadd9
darling if you're there

EXTENDED CHORUS

Em7          D        Cadd9
and so the world has changed
            Dadd9* (slide Cadd9 up 2 frets)
and i must change as well
Em7          D     Cadd9
The machines we’ve made
     D
will damn us into hell
Em7      D        Cadd9
and the time will come
     D
when all must save themselves
Em7        D       Cadd9
and i will save my soul
          D            G
within the arms of isabel
