GAt the center of the Bmworld there's a statue of a Amgirl
She is standing near a Cwell with a Dbucket bare and Gdry
I went and looked her in the Bmeyes and she turned me into Amsand
This clumsy form that I desCpise, it scattered Deasy in her Ghand
It came to rest upon a Bmbeach with a million others Amthere
We sat and waited for the Csea to stretch out so that Dwe could disapGpear
Into the endlessness of Bmblue into the horror of the Amtruth
See, we are far less than we Cknew, yeah, we are Dfar less than we Emknew
EmBut we knew what we could Ctaste
EmGirls found honey to drench our hands
The men cut marble to mark our Bgraves
BSaid we'll need something to

Gremind us of
All the sweetness that has Bpassed through us
The priests dressed children for a Emchoir
But found no joy in what was Bsung
BThe Cfuneral Dhad DbeGgun
GIn the middle of the Bmday when you drive home to your Amplace
From that job that makes you Csleep back to the Dthoughts that keep you aGwake
Bm
LAmong after night has come to claim any light that still remains
In the corner of the Cframe D
(lower notes again for this part)
that you put around her fGace
Two Bmpills just weren't enough
The Amalarm clock's going off but you're not waking up
This isnt Chappening happening happening happening Dhappening
It is G
