So now the years are rolling by, and it's not long since you and I
could have G#mbeen train drivers and EastGbronaButs
B (Em) B (Em)
And now we're stuck in furnished ruts, but yet the thing that really cuts
G#m E Gb B (Em)
is that we can't remember how we got caught
B (Em) B (Em)
Filtered air,computer screens, muffled sighs and might-have-beens
G#m E Gb B (Em)
count your blessings, then breathe, and count to ten
B (Em) B (Em)
And though it doesn't often show, we are scared because we know
our forefatG#mhers were farmers and EfisGbhermeG#mn
G#m Eb E Gb
And sG#mo the world has changed, worse or better's hard to tell,
but my Ebhope remains E within the Gbarms of Isabel
B (Em) B (Em)
So now our calloused hands once told a story honest as it's old
of sowing G#mseeds and EsetGbting sBail.
B (Em) B (Em)
But now our hands are soft and weak and working seven days a week
at these salG#mvation schemes that are Ebound Gbto fG#mail
back to chorus
C#mAnd I'll admit that I am scaredBm of what GbI don't understand.
C# But darling, if you're there, Bmgentle voiGbce and soothing hands
C# Bm Gb
Eb to quiet my despair, E to shore up all my plans, darling, if you're there...
G#m Eb E Gb
AnG#md so the world has changed, and I must change as well
The Ebmachines we've made E will damGbn us into hell G#m
And the Ebtime will comeE when aGbll must save themselvesG#m.
I will Ebsave my soulE in the aGbrms of Isabel
