[A] [F#] [D] [A] [F#] [Em]
[A] if I [F#] hath the courage [D] I pour [A] into [F#] your jar
[A] All the things [F#] that I have [D] heard you [A] whisper [F#] in the dark
[E] And [A] when that jar was [F#] heavy with [A] your honeyed [F#] confidence
[D] I [A] put it to [F#] my lips and [D] drink its [A] meaning [F#] and its sense
[D] [A] Its meaning and [F#] its sense
[E] It [G] has [A] no [F] end [E] so [G] let's [A] [Em] pretend it's [C#] now

[F#] [D] [A] [F#] [A]
[F#] [A] my way could [F#] be plainer [D] than the [A] things that have [F#] been done
[D] And [A] there can [F#] be no mystery [D] of [A] what is [F#] yet to [D] come
[A] It's now that howls [F#] at nothing, [D]
[A] it's now that runs [F#] and [D] hides
[A] It's now that whines [F#] and splinters, [D] coils and [A] slithers [F#] at stars
[D] If [A] I could [F#] love the world, [A] draw my fingers [F#] like a [D] plow
As [A] it tattered ends, [F#] twist [D] and bend [A] about the here [F#] and [D] now
The here [F#m] is blind and [D] helpless, it [A] strides [F#] against the dark
[D] And [A] now the [F#] world's shadows, [D] well the [A] world has come [F#] [D] apart
[A] The world has come [F#] [E] apart
It [G] has [A] no [F] end [E] so [G] let's [A] [Em] pretend it's [G] now

[F#] [D] Oh [F#m] very precious little, [D] let's escape from the powers that [F#] be
[D] The eyes that [F#] judge the [D] words that form our meager histories
But when your [A] flood [F#] surrounds [D] me, when the waters [F#] burst and come
[D] Who knows [F#m] the things that I have done, who knows what I have done
[D] And [A] if I [F#] have the [A] courage, I pour into your jar
[D]
[A] All the [F#] things that I have [D] learned, you [A] whisper in the [F#] dark
[D]
[A] And when that [F#] jar is filled [D] with [A] your [F#] honeyed confidence
[D] I put it to my lips and drink [A] its meaning and its sense
Its meaning and its sense
[B] It [D] has [A] no [F] end [E] so let's [A] [C] pretend [B] it's [G] now
[F#]
