Intro ===== BEBE
Verse 1 ======= BE Did you crack the sky wide open BE To find what was in-side BE Is it not what you were hoping BE And not a case of do or die
Refrain 1 ========= EF#BE Did you cross the bridgeless gulf of chatter EF#BE Did you say just one thing that mattered EF#BE Did you skate the cold water of reason EF#BE Make figure eights on the logic of its reason EF#BE Even the stars die
BE
Verse 2 ======= BE In the end what do things matter BE God knows I'm not un-kind BE I saw it sparkle and then sh-atter BE God knows I've half a mind
Refrain 2 ========= EF#BE To cross the bridgeless gulf of chatter EF#BE To say just one thing that matters EF#BE To skate on the cold water of reason EF#BE Make figure eights on the logic of its reason EF#B Even the stars die E Die
