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