It comes from forever [Gm]
and ever and ever and ever
There's [D] a man holding a [A] megaphone
He must have been the voice of [D] God
A budget and hearse claim they saw angels
Frying [A] up and down [Gm] the floor
He must have been attached to wires
I seen [Bm] one laying in the lawn
With [A] a broken arm
So I called 911
Well that's [D] one less founded opinion
One [A] more cause for a dispute
So [D] the street felt like a basin
Up with [A] cameras and [G] their crews
And they washed away the rumor
Of leaving [Bm] just a concrete truth
It was [A] a spectacle
No I mean a miracle
[D] So I fell like a girl Some [A] embarrassing
[D] Gymnasium of [G] ice
While we're holding on to me
I lifted one foot to cross [Bm] the other
And I felt myself slipping
It was [A] a small mistake
Sometimes that's all [Bm] it takes
Now I'm [G] staring at my list
Hoping that the time [D] is right
When the planets were aligned
There'd be no planets to [G] align
Just the carcass of [Gm] the sun
[G] Little painted marbles spinning Senseless breathing
Endless black [D] sky
[A] [D] [A] [D]
It was in a foreign hotel bathtub
I [A] baptized myself in change
[D] And one by one I drowned all of [A] the people I had fanned
[Gm] And I merged to find the parallels
[Bm] Were fewer I was glad
I [A] looked in the mirror
And someone new was there
But I was as [D] helpless as a chess piece
When [A] I was lifted up by someone's hand
[D] And delivered from the corner
My [C#] enemies had gotten [D] me in
But in [G] all of my salvation
I [Bm] still felt imprisoned inside [A] that hole in the cell
That is myself
[D] So I wait for the day [A] when I hear the key
[D] As it turns in the [G] law
And the guard will save me
Oh my patient prisoner
You waited [Bm] for this day
And finally [A] you are free
You are free
You are free
[Bm]
And I'm staring at [G] the sun
Waiting for it [D] to explode
Cause the day is gonna come
Don't know when but it [G] will come
And we're finding [Gm] our way
Out of [G] here
And I'll [D] throw away this wrinkled [G] map
And my chart of [D] stars and cup this crack
And I'll climb that tree all wet with sap
To avoid [G] the hungry beasts [D] below
I'll cut out [G] my lover's tongue and sin
Of a graveyard grey, a garden green
And we won't have to worry no more
No we won't have to wonder again
About how this song or story ends
About how this song or story will [D] end
[G]
and ever and ever and ever
