VERSE 1:
Cadd9 F6add9
He's sending stones skimming and flying
Cadd9 F6add9
Circles spinning out his time
Cadd9 F6add9
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
Cadd9 F6add9
Chances are this spark's a lifetime
INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE 2:
Cadd9 F6add9
Out of touch he'll live in wonder
Cadd9 F6add9
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
Cadd9 F6add9
In his world he won't go under
Cadd9 F6add9
Turns without him until the end
BRIDGE:
Ebsus2 Ebm Ebsus2 Ebm Ebsus2 Ebm Ebsus2
Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow
Ebm F Fb9 F Fb9 F Fb9 F Fb9
Says he doesn't care who's saved
F7 Bbm F
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
F+ F
And he's not guilty or afraid
Ebm
One day he'll slip away
Dbmaj7
Cool water flowing all around In the river and on the ground
Ebm Dbmaj7 G7sus4 G7
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives
VERSE 3:
Cadd9 F6add9
Until then he'll live in wonder
Cadd9 F6add9
He won't fight or comprehend
Cadd9 F6add9
In his world he won't go under
Cadd9 F6add9
Turns without him until the end
