Intro:  Am7  Dsus2


Am7 (x02010@1)                 Dsus2 (xx0230@1)   I?ve watched the stars fall silent 
from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
    I can?t believe that I 
believed I wished that you could see
There?s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve


C (x32010@1)    C/B (x2555x@1)      Am (x02210@1)  I?m pushing an elephant up the stairs
   I?m tossing up punchlines that were never there
   Over my shoulder a piano falls
GCrashing (320003@1)to the ground


Am7 (x02010@1)        Dsus2 (xx0230@1)  And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don?t want to stay around
   Why can?t we pantomime, just 
close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet


C (x32010@1)     C/B (x2555x@1)     Am (x02210@1)  I?m pushing an elephant up the stairs
   I?m tossing up punchlines that were never there
   Over my shoulder a piano falls
GCrashing (320003@1)to the ground

    C (x32010@1)     G(hold) (320003@1)       AmI?m (x02210@1)keeping flowers in full bloom

           Am7 (x02010@1)             D2I (x43141@2)want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
