D     xx0232

                   G
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
               Cadd9
by a moment complete in its happiness
                  G
Far away from the things that we wish to escape
                Cadd9
that lead us to think we are not awake
          G
We are ourselves despite ourselves
                Cadd9
this place gets smaller as the universe swells
           G                         Cadd9
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually.
G                 Cadd9          G             Cadd9
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
    G                 Cadd9            G                Cadd9
And I am not the only life guard who's washed up on the shore

CHORUS:
D          D
Wake me up take me out
C                 D
Calm me down when I'm in doubt
D                 Cadd9
And I'm in doubt
     G            Cadd9          G           Cadd9
Everyday

                   G                                       Cadd9
And words are like weight with density and shape modifying forms they evaporate
                   G
You can choose the truth you can listen to light
                 Cadd9
you can lead the charge and still loose the fight
              G
Far be it for me to claim anything
              Cadd9
for I am just one in a state of being
          G                         Cadd9
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
G                 Cadd9        G            Cadd9
I am not the only proverb that never really fits
    G                 Cadd9           G                     Cadd9
And I am not the only Caulfield who's catching more than kids

CHORUS

          G                         Cadd9
And so it ends as it begins as everything that is infinite ascends
          G                               Cadd9
Into it's time all things pass all things fade all things last
            G
You are yourself despite yourself
                 Cadd9
this world grows smaller as the universe swells
           G                         Cadd9
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
G                 Cadd9      G               Cadd9
I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write
    G                 Cadd9      G                  Cadd9
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight

CHORUS

                   G
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
               Cadd9
by a moment complete in its happiness
          G                              Cadd9
We are ourselves, eventually, eventually, eventually
G                 Cadd9          G             Cadd9
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor


This is my first ever attempt at this, so please don't hesitate to correct me. I believe 
transistion are all in the correct places but I'm not confident I have the chords 
especially in the chorus. Thanks
