Dm Am
So goodnight my dear
Bb
Hope you're feeling well
F G
Hope your're feeling very clear
Dm Am
In this song and rhyme
Bb
Thoughts of changes that
F G
Keep ourselves intact
Dm Am
And yes, it's hard to fake
Bb
but I'm faltering
F G
In the steps I'm about to take
Dm Am
I am sure it's true
Bb F G
What is all for me is much the same to you
Dm Am
If all the statues in the world
Bb
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
F G
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
Dm Am
The setting sun is set in stone
Bb
And it remains for me alone
F G
To carve my own and set it free
[Instrumental]
Dm Am Bb F G
Dm Am
So we wait and see
Bb
How this backward chapter reads
F G
In verse inadvertently
Dm Am
And it feels like fading light
Bb
But that's all that's left
F G
Only what's left is right
Dm Am
If all the statues in the world
Bb
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
F G
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
Dm Am
The setting sun is set in stone
Bb
And it remains for me alone
F G
To carve my own and set it free
[Spoken Verse]
Dm
Jumping from a balloon
Am
A carried aloft by a parachute in June
Bb
Twisting round and round
F G
Well I hope the ground is what you find
Dm Am
The setting sun is set in stone
Bb
And it remains for me alone
F G
To carve my own and set it free
