Just Once In The World

C
Found the throughline for all humankind
If given the time
                               Dm
They’ll blow up or walk on the moon
It’s just what they do
    C
For personal gain on Thanksgiving Day
I joined the parade
                          Dm
I stood at the top of the float
And threw out a rose
          C
Watched a blast from the past, Indigenous dance
Started to laugh
                           Dm
And then I just started to cry
              G
This world is waving goodbye

   C     G         Dm      G
So cut a rug let’s throw a party
C        G         Dm   G
Birthday cards for everyone
C       G        Dm         G
Swallow hard and say you’re sorry
Dm     G        Dm       G
Just admit what you have done

  C
I studied your work like architecture
Cathedral of words
                          Dm
The meaning’s not easy to tell
Comes back around on itself
  C
Admirers, your biographer
The odometer
                                Dm
There’s no way to turn back the clock
It’s going to run until it stops
     C
So excited to play, we turned up all the way
Electric, ecstatic, psychotic
                Dm
Jumped into the drums
         G
Was pandemonium

   C       G          Dm   G
So if it’s time let’s go together
C      G       Dm      G
I will be your ballast now
      C      G       Dm     G
Let’s sail into that stormy weather
Dm        G   Dm       G
No matter how it turns out

Dm                           Em
I just want to stand by your side
                          Am
When everyone calls you a lie
                                                      A7
I’ll be your shield. There’s still some truth worth defending.
Dm                              Em
Let’s stroll to the edge of the cliff
                        Am
Stop here and give me a kiss
                                                      G
Now we’re walking on air, there’s no hell beneath our feet

      C
If it ever occurred, just once in the world
A love as absurd
                               Dm
As ours I would scream what we lost
         G           C
From the mountaintop
