Intro: F7  C  F G C 

C                      G 
The mice tell bedtime stories 
F             C 
Lullabies turned blue 
E7                  Am G   F             C 
A crib song for the baby who has figured out the ruse 
C                            G             E        F7 
I travelled half way 'round the world to tell a story with no end 
F               C    
The dirt under a nation 
F      G         C 
Forsaken, on the mend 

Am               Em            F7            C 
I could say that for a moment it all made perfect sense 
Am                 Em      F        G 
No one holding posture, nothing heaven-sent 
Am                  Em                  E7           F7 
Hold the hand that leads you, there's no god here to believe 
  F                C             F  G       C 
What matters moves around us in the air we breathe.
