Bright Eyes - Arc of time

You can ^Bmake a plan carve it ^F#into stone Like a ^Efeather falling it is ^Bstill unknown Until the ^Bclock speaks up says it's ^F#time to go You could ^Echoose the high or the ^Blower road

You might ^Bclench your fist you might ^F#fork your tongue As you ^Ecurse or praise all the ^Bthings you've done And the ^Bfaders move and the ^F#music dies^N.C. As we ^N.C.pass over on the ^Barc of time

So you ^Enurse your love like a ^F#wounded dove in the ^Bcovered cage of ^Enight Every ^Estar is crossed by fre^F#netic thoughts that separ^Bate and then col^Elide And they ^G#mtwist like sheets til you ^F#fall asleep and they ^Bfinally un^Ewind It's a ^N.C.black balloon it's a ^Edream you'll soon de^Bny

I hear if ^Byou make friends with ^F#Jesus Christ You will ^Eget right up from that ^Bchalk outline And then you'll ^Bget dolled up and you'll ^F#dress in white All to ^Etake your place in his ^Bchorus line

And then ^Ein you'll come with those ^F#marching drums in a ^Bsaintly compro^Emise No more ^Ewhiskey slurs no more ^F#blonde haired girls for your ^Bwhole eternal ^Elife And you'll ^G#mdo the dance that was ^F#choreographed at the ^Bvery dawn of ^Etime Singing I ^F#told you son the ^Eday would come You would ^Bdie you die you die you die You would ^Bdie you die you die you die You would ^Bdie you die you die you die You would ^Bdie you die you die

To the ^G#mdeepest part of the ^F#human heart the ^Bfear of death ex^Epands Til we ^G#mcrack the code we have ^F#always known but could ^Bnever under^Estand On a ^N.C.circuit board we will soon be born A^Bgain again again again And a^Bgain again again again And a^Bgain again again again And a^Bgain again again
