[Verse 1]
G Am
Some plans were made, and rice was thrown
C D
A house was built, a baby born
C D
How time can move both fast and slow
G
Amazes me
G Am
And so I raise my glass to symmetry
C D
To the second hand and its accuracy
C D
To the actual size of everything
G
The desert is the sand
Em
You can't hold it in your hand
C
It won't bow to your demands
Am
There's no difference you can make
D
There's no difference you can make
Em
And if it seems like an accident
C
A collage of senselessness
Am
You aren't looking hard enough
D
I wasn't looking hard enough
Cm
At it
[Instrumental]
G D C D C D G
[Verse 2]
G Am
An argument for consciousness
C D
The instinct of the blind insect
C D
Who makes love to the flower bed
G
And dies in the first freeze
G Am
Oh, I want to learn such simple things
C D
No politics, no history
C D
'Til what I want and what I need
G
Can finally be the same
Em
I just got myself to blame
C
Leave everything up to fate
Am
When there's choices I could make
D
When there's choices I could make
Em
Yeah, my heart needs a polygraph
C
Always so eager to pack my bags
Am
When I really wanna stay
D
When I really wanna stay
Em
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
C
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
Am
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
D
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
Cm
When I wanna stay
[Instrumental]
G D C G D
[Verse 3]
G
The arc of time, the stench of sex
G
The innocence you can't protect
D
Each quarter note, each marble step
D
Walk up and down that lonely treble clef
C
Each wanting the next one
C
Each wanting the next one to arrive
G
Each wanting the next one
D
Each wanting the next one to arrive
G
An argument for consciousness
G
The instinct of the blind insect
D
Who never thinks not to accept
D
Its fate; that's faith, there's happiness in death
C
You give to the next one
C
You give to the next on down the line
G
You give to the next one
D
You give to the next on down the line
