G                              A                       C                               G
There's no prayer I could say, no advice I could take, no pill that would make me feel better. 
G                              A                       C                               G
There's no fountain to seek, no cup I could drink. I know of nothing that ever grew younger. 
        D            C            G                   D                 C           G
But the universe it must go on forever, just like two mirrors that are facing each other. 
        D            C              G                D                C
It's reality upon illusion over and over until you can't tell the difference,
                        G
 they both just blend together.
                D               C                         G     
And I just put each day in a box on a calendar, winter to summer. 
              D                   C                          G     
And I'll go walking in that same circle for as long as I can remember. 
              D                   C                     G     
I just keep hoping that someone would make me a better offer. 
                 Bm                        A       D  C           G
Cause I know the end that we see from our balcony is barely the beginning.


G                              A                       C                               G
So I'm up on the fence and I'm still not convinced. Can't decide which side looks greener.
G                              A                       C                               G 
So I just stay where I am, remain indifferent. Let what happens, happen it's easier.
                   D                  C            G    
I'll go ahead and drown myself in the fluids of another. 
               D            C            G   
Yeah my woman to me was as pure and essential as water. 
    D            C            G   
And so she looked like me for awhile but she does no longer 
         D            C            G   
cause she took the shape of whatever it was that held her. 
                 D            C            G   
She killed the fear in my heart but our love also got murdered. 
                D            C            G   
She said my child you can no longer sing of that fever 
                          D            C            G   
cause it's selfish and you are not selfish. You must get stronger. 
                Bm                        A          D  C  G
So I know when your lover leaves I guess all you can be is forgiving.


For the D C G bit I tap the guitar to the beat of the song after one strum and
strum after the G for a better effect, you will know what I mean if you have
heard it :)
