B
You can make a plan 
         F#
Carve it into stone 
       E
Like a feather falling 
      B
It is still unknown 
          B
Until the clock speaks up 
          F#
Says it's time to go 
          E
You could choose the high 
       B
Or the lower road 

[Verse 2]
          B
You might clinch your fist 
          F#
You might fork your tongue 
       E
As you curse or praise 
        B
All the things you've done 
        B
And the faders move 
        F#
And the music dies 
      E
As we pass over 
       B
On the arc of time 

[Chorus 1]
       E
So you nurse your love 
       F#
Like a wounded dove 
       B               E
In the covered cage of night 
      E
Every star is crossed 
       F#
By phrenetic thoughts 
          B               E
That seperate and then collide 
         Gm
And they twist like sheets 
         F#
Till you fall asleep 
         B         E
And they finally unwind 
       E
It's a black balloon 
       F#                  B
It's a dream you'll soon deny 

[Verse 3]
          B
I hear if you make friends 
     F#
With Jesus Christ 
         E
You will get right up 
          B
From that chalk outline 
                B
And then you'll get dolled up 
           F#
And you'll dress in white 
       E
All to take your place 
       B
In his chorus line 

[Chorus 2]
         E
And then in you'll come 
           F#
With those marching drums 
     B             E
In a saintly compromise 
        E
No more whiskey slurs 
        F#
No more blonde haired girls 
         B             E
For your whole eternal life 
           G#m
And you'll do the dance 
         F#
That was choreographed 
       B            E
At the very dawn of time 
          E
Saying, I told you son 
    F#                       
The day would come 
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die 
          B
You would die, you'd die, you'd die

[Chorus 3]
       G#m
To the deepest part 
       F#
Of the human heart 
    B               E
The fear of death expands 
        G#m
Till we crack the code 
        F#
We have always known 
          B          E
But could never understand 
     E
On a circuit board 
        F#
We will soon be born 
 B
Again, again, again, again 
     B
And again, again, again, again 
     B
And again, again, again, again 
     B
And again, again, again
