[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
