C

[VERSE 1]

 C                          F           C
Late New Year's Eve, paper hat on your head
      Am                    F        C
it's hard to believe you'll ever be dead
           C                                F                C
But that dream where you're falling you've had since you're five
      Am                         F        C
is a bird on your shoulder who whispers goodbye

[CHORUS]

         Am              E
What is moving will be still
             F                C
What's been gathered will disperse
             Am               E
What's been built up will collapse
           F        C
All your dreams fulfilled 

[VERSE 2]

C                 F              C
Evel Knievel shot up from dead grass
Am                  F             C
I loved him better each time he crashed
 C                     F            C
Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed 
 Am                        F           C
certain that Skylab would fall on her head

[CHORUS]

         Am              E
What is moving will be still
             F                C
What's been gathered will disperse
             Am               E
What's been built up will collapse
           F        C
All your dreams fulfilled 

[VERSE 3]

 C                          F           C
One night I dreamed that I dug my own grave 
      Am                    F         C
and climbed down inside to patiently wait
 C                     F                C
Down in the ground I breathed the warm air 
      Am                     F          C
and blackbirds flew down to nest in my hair

[CHORUS]

         Am              E
What is moving will be still
             F                C
What's been gathered will disperse
             Am               E
What's been built up will collapse
           F        C
All your dreams fulfilled
