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