Verso 1:
F#m D
I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies
F#m
And the burning horses and the ??flaming trees
D
As a spiral of children climb up to the sun
F#m
Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me
E
As the past pulls away and the future begins
Bm D
I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in
E
Like a wave, like a wave
F#m
And the past, with its savage undertow, lets go
Bridge D E F#m

Come on, everyone, come on, everyone

A spiral of children climbs up to the sun

To the sun, to the sun, and on each golden rung

A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
Verso 2:
D
And a man called Jesus, He promised He would leave us
F#m
With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night
D
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
F#m
And it isn't any fun, no, it isn't any fun
E
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
Bm
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
D E
And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
F#m
And everybody hanging from a tree
D E
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone
F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun

To the sun, to the sun, taking everyone

There is nothing more valuable than beauty, they say

There is nothing more valuable than love

And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees

And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies

And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful

Oh, your bright green eyes, so beautiful
