[Verse]
F C E
The color of an afternoon just like when you were 5 years old
F C E
The moon over the ocean I've seen from a island evening
F C E
Progression that starts to lose it's meaning
F C E
If we have spent most of a lifetime dreaming
F G C
Then dreaming is the state we shall keep
F C E
Stories of our solitude will sing themselves to sleep
F C E
And we will sing to everything the stories of where we have been
F C
The history that's coursing through our veins
F C
No, nothing factual is written on a page

[Verse]
F C E
So surely and so steadily a slowly moving cloud will whisper
C Dm
"I am but for hours born to last"
Em Dm F
Your soggy soaking future is my foggy fading past
E
And so now if you want to wish upon me, wish upon me fast
F G F C
Whatever can be held in your heart is surely yours to grasp
C F C
So you wish for a picture of all of the people you had the pleasure to know
F C
Or a postcard from all of the places that you ever wanted to go
G F
Saying "you are here now on this magical night"
E
The sun and sky at sunset, well, it's such a stunning sight
F G C
You can sleep safely and soundly and you are loved
[Verse]
F C E
And nothing ever does begin like nothing ever ends
F C E
Ask every atom in your body and they'll surely tell you
C Dm
"friend, I am old as time and older still"
Em Dm F
And you are made of everything you love, you feel, or kill
E
I will outlive you, and forgive you, and be just a baby still
[Outro]
