VERSE 1:

C9               F69                 
He's sending stones skimming and flying
C9                    F69
Circles spinning out his time
C9                         F69
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars 
C9                      F69
Chances are this spark's a lifetime 


INSTRUMENTAL:

Ebm         C#m         Ebm         C#m   G    


VERSE 2:

C9              F69            
Out of touch he'll live in wonder
C9                         F69
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend 
C9           F69       
In his world he won't go under  
C9                       F69
Turns without him until the end


BRIDGE:

Eb9  Ebm        Eb9    Ebm              Eb9   Ebm      Eb9
        Rivers run dry         but there's no line     on his brow 
Ebm                F   Fb9   F   Fb9  F  Fb9  F  Fb9  
   Says he doesn't care who's saved 
              F7       Bbm       F
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now 
F+           F
And he's not guilty or afraid 
Ebm
One day he'll slip away 
                   C#7M
Cool water flowing all around      In the river and on the ground 
        Ebm                                    C#7M          G74 G7
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives 


VERSE 3:

C9            F69              
Until then he'll live in wonder         
C9                   F69
He won't fight or comprehend
C9           F69       
In his world he won't go under  
C9                       F69
Turns without him until the end
