VERSE
Dm C
Bb F
Late new years eve
Bb F
Paper hat on your head
Bb F
It was hard to believe
G
That you'd ever be dead
Bb F
And that dream that you're falling
Bb F
That you've had since you're five
Bb F G
Is a bird on your shoulder that whispers
Bb
Get back
C C#m
Get back
Chorus
Dm A7
What is moving will be still
Bb F
What has gathered will disperse
Dm A7
What's been built up will collapse
Bb
All of your dreams
Dm C
They're all fulfilled
VERSE
Bb F
And Liza Minelli
Bb F
Spent a month in her bed
Bb F
She was certain that Skylab
G
Would crash on her head
Bb F
And Evil Knievel shot
Bb F
Up from the grass and
Bb F G
I loved him better each time
Bb
That he crashed
C C#m
That he crashed
Chorus
Dm A7
What is moving will be still
Bb F
What has gathered will disperse
Dm A7
What's been built up will collapse
Bb
All of your dreams
Dm C
They're all fulfilled

VERSE
(muted strumming, no chords)
Last night I dreamed that I
Dug my own grave so I
Climbed down inside there to patiently wait
And down in the ground while I
Breathed the cold air
G
Black birds came down there to nest
Bb
In my hair
C C#m
In my hair
Chorus
Dm A7

Dm A7

Bb
All of your dreams
Dm Bb
They're all fulfilled
Dm Bb
They're all fulfilled
Dm Bb C F
Oh and they're
