Em7 C D 

(Verse) 

Em7                  C                  D     C 
  I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop 
Em7          C              G                 D 
  My minds a weathervane it spins around just like a top 
Em7              C                D            C 
  Knows what the winds of fortune bring in the season of the witch 
Em7         C          G                D  
  Home is a perjury, a parlor trick, an urban myth 

 

G            D             C              D 
  Oh how the circumstances change, oohoho 
G               D                Am             D          
  This world is smoke and steam, compromise and meter maids 
G              D                    C           D 
  I'm going to leave here before to long, ohooho 
G              D                   Am             C 
  Zigzagging toward the light, I'm off to sing my boundless song

(Verse) 

Em7            C               D      C 
  True love it hides like city stars 
Em7          C            G               D 
  Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate how near or far 
Em7               C               D          C    
  If it comes, it comes quite unannounced, a momentary glance 
Em7         C              G          D 
  Lit up by sun or moon or bonfire or ambulance 

 

G            D             C              D 
  Oh how the circumstances change, oohoho 
G            D             Am           D          
  Feels unmistakable, with no idea from where it came 
G              D                 C    D 
  But you will know it when it's gone 
G            D                       Am                  C 
  Zigzagging through the night, I've heard you sing your boundless song 


(C-Part) 
Em7   G      C                B7 
         How did you sing the boundless song? 
Em7   G      C                 B7 
         How did you sing? How did you sing? 
C              G             B7            C 
  Sing for the founders, his word is never kept 
C             G          B7 
  A bindle of flowers to state his mind and bloom when he forgets

(Verse) 

Em7              C                D    C 
  It's true that shadows tell the time 
Em7        C              G                  D 
  On sunny afternoons, on crowded sidewalks, passersby 
Em7        C                    D       C 
  I'm in a queue that stretches out far as the eye can see  
Em7          C                G            D                           
  It forms a figure eight and goes on for eternity 

 

G            D             C              D 
  Oh how the circumstances change (oohoho) 
G          D           Am             D          
  I fly by interstate across a purple mountain range 
G          D               C            D 
  I find a place to come undone (oohoho) 
G              D               Am                C 
  Zigzagging toward you now, I sing out loud our boundless song
