VERSE 1:

C5               F69                 
He's sending stones skimming and flying
C5                    F69
Circles spinning out his time
C5                         F69
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars 
C5                      F69
Chances are this spark's a lifetime 


INSTRUMENTAL:

Eb5         C#5         Eb5         C#5   G5    


VERSE 2:

C5              F69            
Out of touch he'll live in wonder
C5                         F69
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend 
C5           F69       
In his world he won't go under  
C5                       F69
Turns without him until the end


BRIDGE:

Eb5  Eb5        Eb5    Eb5              Eb5   Eb5      Eb5
        Rivers run dry         but there's no line     on his brow 
Eb5                F5   Fb9   F5   Fb9  F5  Fb9  F5  Fb9  
   Says he doesn't care who's saved 
              F5       Bb5       F5
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now 
F+           F5
And he's not guilty or afraid 
Eb5
One day he'll slip away 
                   C#5
Cool water flowing all around      In the river and on the ground 
        Eb5                                    C#5          G5 G5
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives 


VERSE 3:

C5            F69              
Until then he'll live in wonder         
C5                   F69
He won't fight or comprehend
C5           F69       
In his world he won't go under  
C5                       F69
Turns without him until the end
