Intro: G  C  G  D7/F#  x2

G          Gmaj7          G7       C
I feel the magic that our time has traced
Am         Am/G           D7/F#  G
And make a point of it in every  place
G         Gmaj7            G7       C
But every place deserves a curse or two
Edim7                D7/F#     G
For making me so far away from you

G          Gmaj7           G7       C
I saw some pictures of the world at war
Am         Am/G              D7/F#    G
I couldn't suss what all the fuss was for
G        Gmaj7          G7      C
I wear a picture of you wearing black
Edim7                     D7/F#    G
And kissing me behind the butler's back

C    Cadd2  C  Cmaj9/B  Am7    Am7/G  Am7/F#  Am7/E
Some-times  I  get      down   but    it's    not
C    Cadd2  C    Cmaj9/B  Am7   Am7/G  Am7/F# Am7/E
You  that   gets me       down  it's   just   the
C     Cadd2  C    Cmaj9/B Am7   Am7/G  Am7/F# Am7/E
Sense of     the  im______poss__ible
D7/F#        D7/F#sus4  D7/F#
Gratuitously handed     down

C              D7/F#                G         G7
But oh no, not you, don't wipe your eyes over lies
C
Just let them shine their blue
         Am           Am/G         D7/F#
On every whisper that welcomes the inconceivable
                     G   C   G   D7/F#  x2
And the birth of the true 
   
G            Gmaj7            G7     C 
I'd sack the world and make a second start
Am          Am/G          D7/F#    G
I'd sack my head until it found my heart
G            Gmaj7           G7    C
I'd fill the distance with a red parade
Edim7                   D7/F#            G
And burn the banks down while the bugles played.

C    Cadd2  C  Cmaj9/B  Am7    Am7/G  Am7/F#  Am7/E
Some-times  I  get      down   but    it's    not
C    Cadd2  C    Cmaj9/B  Am7   Am7/G  Am7/F# Am7/E
You  that   gets me       down  it's   just   the
C     Cadd2  C    Cmaj9/B Am7   Am7/G  Am7/F# Am7/E
Sense of     the  im______poss__ible
D7/F#        D7/F#sus4  D7/F#
Gratuitously handed     down

C              D7/F#                G         G7
But oh no, not you, don't wipe your eyes over lies
C
Just let them shine their blue
         Am           Am/G         D7/F#
On every whisper that welcomes the inconceivable
                     G  C  G  D7/F#  
And the birth of the true
         Am           Am/G         D7/F#
On every whisper that welcomes the unbelievable
                     G  C  G  D7/F#  
And the birth of the true
         Am           Am/G         D7/F#
On every whisper that welcomes the inconceivable
                     G  
And the birth of the true
