Some plans were made and rice was thrown 
C                            D
A house was built, a baby born 
C                             D
How time can move both fast and slow 
G
Amazes me 
G                                        Am
And so I raise my glass to symmetry 
C                                 D
To the second hand and its accuracy 
C                            D
To the actual size of everything

The desert is the sand

You can't hold it in your hand

It won't bow to your demands 
Am
There's no difference you can make 
D
There's no difference you can make

And if it seems like an accident

A collage of senselessness

You aren't looking hard enough 
D
I wasn't looking hard enough 

C........G

G                            Am
An argument for consciousness 
C                             D
The instinct of the blind insect 
C                             D
Who makes love to the flower bed 
G
And dies in the first freeze 
G                                  Am
Oh I want to learn such simple things 
C                             D
No politics, no history 
C                             D
Till what I want and what I need 
G
Can finally be the same 
Em
I just got myself to blame 
C
Is everything up to fate 
Am
When there's choices I could make 
D
When there's choices I could make 
Em
Yeah, my heart needs a polygraph 
C
Always so eager to pack my bags 
Am
When I really wanna stay

When I really wanna stay

When I wanna stay (x4)

The arc of time, the stench of sex

The innocence you can't protect

Each quarter note, each marble step

Walk up and down that lonely treble clef 
C
Each wanting the next one 
G                                            
Each wanting the next one to arrive 
C
Each wanting the next one 
G
Each wanting the next one to arrive 

G
An argument for consciousness 
G
The instinct of the blind insect 
D
Who never thinks not to accept its fate

That's fate, that's happiness and death 
C
You get to the next one 
G
You get to the next on down the line 
C
You get to the next one 
G
You get to the next on down the line

The remedy of longing that 
G
Distills each dream and the song I had 
D
By morning watered down again 
D
On silver stars I wish and wish and wish

Move on to the next one 
G
Move on to the next one down the line

Move on to the next one

Move on to the next one down the line

You get to the next one 
G
You get to the next on down the line 
C
You get to the next one 
G
You get to the next on down the line
