Late New Year's Eve, paper hat on your head 
      Am                    F        C 
it's hard to believe you'll ever be dead 
           C                                F                C 
But that dream where you're falling you've had since you're five 
      Am                         F        C 
is a bird on your shoulder who whispers goodbye 

         Am              E 
What is moving will be still 
             F                C 
What's been gathered will disperse 
             Am               E 
What's been built up will collapse 
           F        C 
All your dreams fulfilled  

C                 F              C 
Evel Knievel shot up from dead grass 
Am                  F             C 
I loved him better each time he crashed 
 C                     F            C 
Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed  
 Am                        F           C 
certain that Skylab would fall on her head 

         Am              E 
What is moving will be still 
             F                C 
What's been gathered will disperse 
             Am               E 
What's been built up will collapse 
           F        C 
All your dreams fulfilled  

 C                          F           C 
One night I dreamed that I dug my own grave  
      Am                    F         C 
and climbed down inside to patiently wait 
 C                     F                C 
Down in the ground I breathed the warm air  
      Am                     F          C 
and blackbirds flew down to nest in my hair 

         Am              E 
What is moving will be still 
             F                C 
What's been gathered will disperse 
             Am               E 
What's been built up will collapse 
           F        C 
All your dreams fulfilled  

C
