[Intro] (x2)
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
[Verse 1]
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life comes and goes
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life comes and goes
D Fmaj7
Short flight, free rows:
D Fmaj7
I lie down and doze
[Verse 2]
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life came and went
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life came and went
D Fmaj7
Short flight; free descent
D Fmaj7
Poor flight attendant
[Verse 3]
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
But the sky, over the ocean!
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the ocean, skirting the city!
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the city, bright as a garden
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
(when the garden woke to meet me)
[Verse 4]
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
From that height was a honeycomb
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
Made of light from those funny homes,
D Fmaj7 D Fmaj7
Intersected each enclosed, anelectric and alone
[Verse 5]
C Fmaj7
In our lives is a common sense
C Fmaj7
That relies on the common fence
D Fmaj7
That divides, and attends
D Fmaj7
But provides scant defense
[Verse 6]
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
From the Great Light that shine through a pin-hole
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
When the pin-light calls itself Selfhood
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the Selfhood inverts on a mirror
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
In an Amora Obscura Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
[Verse 7]
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
But it's mine. Or, at least, it's lent
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
And my life, until the time is spent
D Fmaj7
Is a pin-light, bent
D Fmaj7
It's a pin-light, bent
(On the last note of the song, I like to let the f note on the first fret of the e string ring out.)
