Arc Of Time

        B
You can make a plan
         F#
Carve it into stone
       E
Like a feather falling
      B
It is still unknown
          B
Until the clock speaks up
          F#
Says it's time to go
          E
You could choose the high
       B
Or the lower road

          B
You might clinch your fist
          F#
You might fork your tongue
       E
As you curse or praise
        B
All the things you've done
        B
And the faders move
        F#
And the music dies
      E
As we pass over
       B
On the arc of time

       E
So you nurse your love
       F#
Like a wounded dove
       B               E
In the covered cage of night
      E
Every star is crossed
       F#
By phrenetic thoughts
          B               E
That seperate and then collide
         Gm
And they twist like sheets
         F#
Till you fall asleep
         B         E
And they finally unwind
       E
It's a black balloon
       F#                  B
It's a dream you'll soon deny

          B
I hear if you make friends
     F#
With Jesus Christ
         E
You will get right up
          B
From that chalk outline
                B
And then you'll get dolled up
           F#
And you'll dress in white
       E
All to take your place
       B
In his chorus line

         E
And then in you'll come
           F#
With those marching drums
     B             E
In a saintly compromise
        E
No more whiskey slurs
        F#
No more blonde haired girls
         B             E
For your whole eternal life
           G#m
And you'll do the dance
         F#
That was choreographed
       B            E
At the very dawn of time
          E
Saying, I told you son
    F#
The day would come
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die

       G#m
To the deepest part
       F#
Of the human heart
    B               E
The fear of death expands
        G#m
Till we crack the code
        F#
We have always known
          B          E
But could never understand
     E
On a circuit board
        F#
We will soon be born
 B
Again, again, again, again
     B
And again, again, again, again
     B
And again, again, again, again
     B
And again, again, again
