Verso:
C#F#G#C#
Scared of losin' all the time
F#G#C#
He wrote it on a letter
F#G#C#F#G#
He was a friend of mine
C#F#G#C#
He heard you could see your future
F#G#C#
Inside a glass of water
F#G#C#C#F#G#
With ripples and the lines
F#G#G#G#G#
He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine
( C#F#G# ) (2x)
C#F#G#C#
Oh that is just the way it was,
F#G#C#
and nothing could be better,
F#G#C#C#F#G#
and nothing ever was.
C#F#G#C#
Oh he said you could see your future,
F#G#C#
inside a glass of water,
F#G#C#C#F#G#
With riddles and the rhymes
F#G#
'Will I see heaven in mine
G#G#G#
Oh, oh, oh
C#FmA#mF#C#FmA#mF#
Son don't ask,
C#FmA#mF#C#FmA#mF#
Neither how full or empty is your glass,
C#FmA#mF#C#FmA#mF#
Cling to the mast
C#FmA#mG#F#G#F#
Spend your whole life living in your past
G#G#G#
Going nowhere fast
( C#F#G# ) (4x)
C#F#G#C#
So he wrote it on a wall
F#G#C#F#G#C#F#G#
that the hollowest of halos is no halo at all
C#F#G#C#F#G#C#
And television selling plastic figurines of leaders
F#G#C#F#G#
saying nothing at all
F#
And we chime 'Stars in heaven, align!'
G#G#G#
Oh, oh, oh
C#FmA#mF#C#FmA#mF#
Son don't ask,
C#FmA#mF#C#FmA#mF#
Neither how full or empty is your glass,
C#FmA#mF#C#FmA#mF#
Cling to the mast
C#FmA#mG#F#G#F#
Spend your whole life living in your past
G#G#G#
Going nowhere fast
Ponte: F#G#A#mD#mF#G#G#4G#
( C#FmA#mF# ) (4x)
( C#G#F#C# )
C#G#
And what I'll be drinking when we're done?
F#C#
Just glasses of water
