(Intro)
Em7 C D C
Em7 C D
(Verse)
Em7 C D C
I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop
Em7 C G D
My minds a weathervane it spins around just like a top
Em7 C D C
Knows what the winds of fortune bring in the season of the witch
Em7 C G D
Home is a perjury, a parlor trick, an urban myth
(Chorus)
G D C D
Oh how the circumstances change, oohoho
G D Am D
This world is smoke and steel, compromise and meter maids
G D C D
I'm going to leave here before to long, ohooho
G D Am C
Zigzagging toward the light, I'm off to sing my bounder song
(Interlude)
Em7 C D C
Em7 C D
(Verse)
Em7 C D C
True love it hides like city stars
Em7 C G D
Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate how near or far
Em7 C D C
If it comes, it comes quite unannounced, a momentary glance
Em7 C G D
Lit up by sun or moon or bonfire or ambulance
(Chorus)
G D C D
Oh how the circumstances change, oohoho
G D Am D
Feels unmistakable, with no idea from where it came
G D C D
But you will know it when it's gone
G D Am C
Zigzagging through the night, half dead you sing your bounders song
(C-Part)
Em7 G C B7
half dead you sing your bounder song?
Em7 G C B7
Half dead you sing? Half dead you sing?
C G B7 C
Sing for the bounders, whose word is never kept
C G B7
A bandeau of flowers to stay his mind and bloom when he forgets
(Interlude)
Em7 C D C
Em7 C D
(Verse)
Em7 C D C
It's true that shadows tell the time
Em7 C G D
On sunny afternoons, on crowded sidewalks, passersby
Em7 C D C
I'm in a queue that stretches out far as the eye can see
Em7 C G D
It forms a figure eight and goes on for eternity
(Chorus)
G D C D
Oh how the circumstances change (oohoho)
G D Am D
I fly by interstate across a purple mountain range
G D C D
I find a place to come undone (oohoho)
G D Am C
Zigzagging toward you now, I sing out loud our bounders song
(Outro)
G D C D (4x)
Em G B7 Em (4x)
