Verse 1
Hear (A major) (D major) (A major) the (D major) chimes,
did you know that the wind when it blows
It is older than Rome and all of this sorrow
See the new Pyramids down
in old Manhattan
From the roof (G major) of a friend (D major) I
watched an em (A major) pire ending
Heard it loud (B minor) and long, the (D major) river's song
Time marching (G major) on,
to a mad (A major) man's drum

Verse 2
Don't for (D major) get what you've learned
All you (G major) give is (D major) returned
And if (G major) life seems absurd (D major)
What you need (A major) is some laughter (D major)
And a season to sleep
And a place (G major) to get clean (D major)
Maybe (G major) Los Angeles
(D major) Somewhere no (A major) one's expecting
(D major) On (G major) a detox
Verse 3
walk
Over Glendale Park
Over sidewalk chalk
Some rope read "start over"
(D major)
Verse 4
So I muffle (G major) my scream
On an Oxnard beach
Full of fever (F sharp major) dreams that
scare (B minor) me sober (A major)

Into saltless dinners
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major)
Verse 5
Take the fruit (D major) from the tree,
break the skin (G major) with (D major) your teeth
Is it (G major) bitter or sweet (D major) all de
pends (A major) on your timing
Like a meeting (D major) of chance
With the train (G major) station (D major) glance
Many (G minor) life (G major) times have passed (D major)
in a (A major) instant reminded (D major)
Of a mill (G major) stone house in a seaside town
When your heart gave out
in a mission bed
(D major)
Verse 6
So your wife (G major) gave birth to a funeral dirge
You woke up (F sharp major) purged as a wailing (B minor) (A major) infant

Verse 7
Hear the chimes, (D major)
did you know that the wind (G major) when it (D major) blows
It is (G major) older than (D major) Rome and
our joy (A major) and our sorrow
