Scared of losin' all the time

He wrote it on a letter
A#CFA#C
He was a friend of mine
FA#CF
He heard you could see your future
A#CF
Inside a glass of water
A#CFFA#C
With ripples and the lines
A#CCCC
He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine
( FA#C ) (2x)
FA#CF
Oh that is just the way it was,
A#CF
and nothing could be better,
A#CFFA#C
and nothing ever was.
FA#CF
Oh he said you could see your future,
A#CF
inside a glass of water,
A#CFFA#C
With riddles and the rhymes
A#C
'Will I see heaven in mine

Oh, oh, oh

Son don't ask,
FAmDmA#FAmDmA#
Neither how full or empty is your glass,

Cling to the mast
FAmDmCA#CA#
Spend your whole life living in your past

So he wrote it on a wall
A#CFA#CFA#C
that the hollowest of halos is no halo at all
FA#CFA#CF
And television selling plastic figurines of leaders
A#CFA#C

And we chime 'Stars in heaven, align!'
CCC
Oh, oh, oh
FAmDmA#FAmDmA#
Son don't ask,
FAmDmA#FAmDmA#
Neither how full or empty is your glass,
FAmDmA#FAmDmA#
Cling to the mast
FAmDmCA#CA#
Spend your whole life living in your past
CCC
Going nowhere fast

Just glasses of water
