[Intro]
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
 
 
[Verse 1]
G              Cmaj7
Just imagine a time and place
G                 Cmaj7
Sentient objects adrift in space
Dadd11           Cmaj7
Trying to do the needful math
Dadd11             Cmaj7
Trying to find the secret path
G                       Cmaj7
Seas gone silent in the spiral shell
         G    Cmaj7
When you fell
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                  Cmaj7
Blazing torches to light the way
G                           Cmaj7
All fuel burned right up in just one day
Dadd11         Cmaj7
Will there be another way?
Dadd11            Cmaj7
That won't be for you to say
G                         Cmaj7
You who took with you the ancient spell
         G   Cmaj7
When you fell
 
 
[Bridge]
Am7                        Bm7
Hurt too hard too long and die too young
Cmaj7
Silver dollar glistening on your tongue
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                Cmaj7
May your passage be assured
G                               Cmaj7
There may your foul afflictions all be cured
Dadd11                  Cmaj7
Systems closing down on several fronts
Dadd11               Cmaj7
You will always have been here once
G                    Cmaj7
Cap the west's final wildcat well
         G     Cmaj7
When you fell
         G     Cmaj7
When you fell
         G     Cmaj7
When you fell
