                   G5
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
               C5
by a moment complete in its happiness
                  G5
Far away from the things that we wish to escape
                C5
that lead us to think we are not awake
          G5
We are ourselves despite ourselves
                C5
this place gets smaller as the universe swells
           G5                         C5
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually.
G5                 C5          G5             C5
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
    G5                 C5            G5                C5
And I am not the only life guard who's washed up on the shore

CHORUS:
D5          D5
Wake me up take me out
C5                 D5
Calm me down when I'm in doubt
D5                 C5
And I'm in doubt
     G5            C5          G5           C5
Everyday


                   G5                                       C5
And words are like weight with density and shape modifying forms they evaporate
                   G5
You can choose the truth you can listen to light
                 C5
you can lead the charge and still loose the fight
              G5
Far be it for me to claim anything
              C5
for I am just one in a state of being
          G5                         C5
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
G5                 C5        G5            C5
I am not the only proverb that never really fits
    G5                 C5           G5                     C5
And I am not the only Caulfield who's catching more than kids

CHORUS
          G5                         C5
And so it ends as it begins as everything that is infinite ascends
          G5                               C5
Into it's time all things pass all things fade all things last
            G5
You are yourself despite yourself
                 C5
this world grows smaller as the universe swells
           G5                         C5
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
G5                 C5      G5               C5
I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write
    G5                 C5      G5                  C5
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight

CHORUS
                   G5
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
               C5
by a moment complete in its happiness
          G5                              C5
We are ourselves, eventually, eventually, eventually
G5                 C5          G5             C5
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
