CI dreamed you were a cosmonaut - oGf the space between our chairs
CAnd I was a cartographer - ofG the tangles in your hair
Fmaj7I sighed a song that silence brings - It's the one that everybody
knows, everybody knows - thCe song that silence sings
And this is how it Ggoes
Intro -> then riff over lyrics:
CThese looms that weave apocrypha - thGey're hanging from a strand
CThe dark and empty rooms were full - oGf incandescent hands
Fmaj7awkward pause(paws) - a fatal flaw - Time, it's a crooked bow
CTime is a crooked bow
CIn time you need to learn, to love - The ebb just like the Gflow
D7Grab hold of your Bm7bootstraps, and pull like hEmell
until gravEity feels sorry for Amyou, and lets you gDo
As Gif you lack the proper cheCmicalsC/B to know, oh
tAmhe way it felt the last time you let youBmrself - fFmaj7all this low
Fmaj7Time, Oh time - it’s a crookedC bow
Time's a crookeC/Gd bow - TFime, it's a crookedC/G bow
FFifty-five and three-eighths yearsG later
FAt the bottom of a giganticG crater - FAn armchair calls to Gyou
Yeah, thiFs armchair calls tGo you
It says, Csomeday, we'll get back at thCmaj7em all
With epoxy and a pair of Gpliers
CAs ancient sea slugs begin tCmaj7o crawl
through the ragweed and barbed Gwire
CYou didn't write - You didn'tG call - FIt didn't cross your mind
Gat all - and Cthrough the waves - waves of A.M. sqGuall
FYou couldn't feel a thing at Gall - Fifty-five and three-eigFmaj7hths
tall - Fifty-five and three-eightFmaj7hs tall …time time
