Verse 1 chords: 
C5                                                      G5
Golden ratio, the shell, stares at sand around themselves
    C5      G5              F5         C5
The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen
    C5                         G5                   C5
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat
C5                                                          G5
The oxygen and priestly green, Hanel's dressed in labryrinthine
    C5          G5                  F5             C5
The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic fission, listen
    C5                        G5                    C5
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, hey, hey, hey, hey


Chorus 1 chords:
F5      C5            F5       C5          A5        G5               F5          C5
  I am assured, yes, I am assured, yes,  I am assured peace will come to me
F5              C5        F5             C5          A5        G5
  A peace that can, yes,  surpass the speed, yes,   of my understanding
F5             C5   [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]
