It's probably never been played the same since but it's the only official recorded version.

                                          F (133211@1)                CAnd (x32010@1)that dream that you're falling you've had since you were five

Chorus

Am (x02210@1)                   EWhat (022100@1)is moving will be still

         F (133211@1)              CWhat (x32010@1)has gathered will disperse

              Am (x02210@1)          EWhat (022100@1)has been built up will collapse

            FAll (133211@1)of your dreams

    C (x32010@1)        G6All (320000@1)fulfilled


Interlude

Bird whistles over this progression following the same pattern.


The second verse and chorus are identical to the first, whilst the third verse swaps 
pattern for single chords.

One little bit, just before the second verse goes like this.

e|-----0-0-----0-0-----------|
B|-----1-1-----1-1-----------|
G|---------------------------|
D|----------2--------3--2--0-|
A|--3------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

Then as before

e|-----0-0-----0-0----0-0-----0-0--|
B|-----1-1-----1-1----1-1-----1-1--|
G|----------0---------0-0-----0-0--|
D|------------------2------0-------|
A|--3------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

Before hitting the second verse.

Good luck!
