Before The Earth Was Round

Intro:

[C]


C                    E
Before the Earth was round,
Am               F
Oh there was no end to things.
C                    E
And no one tried to measure,
Am               F     G
What they knew.

Am              E
Everything was war,
                   F
But everyone knew love.
G#                          Am
And every contradiction was true.
                        E
The Sun worked twice as hard,
                          F
And the Moon was twice as far.
G#                              C
And the sky was still honestly blue.

F        G#
                           C
The sky was still honestly blue.

C             E
When the time came,
Am                  F
Everything spiralled in.
C        E         Am        F
Everyone forgot what they knew.

Am            E
War became a job,
                  F
And love became a mystery.
     G#                           Am
And heart and head were rent into two.
               E
Fear and doubt began,
                       F
And God threw up his hands,
         G#                      C
And the sky didn't know what to do.
 F  G#                       C
The sky didn't know what to do.
