  			Intro C  F  G  Am  F  G 

C                 F  G        Am 
Both feet together Slowly progressing 
F          G    C                      F  G 
Always in time Don't count the feathers 
G                Am   F           G 
Just count the wings Everyday counting  
C                   F  G             Am 
Everything's changing I almost forgot it 
      F        G 
But then I remembered  

( C  F  G  Am  F  G ) 
  
      C             F     G           Am 
I was thrown in the boat  Cast out to sea 
F             G                 C      F 
Friendly with waves  There were sharks below 
G          Am       F          G 
Hungry for me  So I dangled my leg 

( C  F  G  Am  F  G ) 
  
      C         F                G    Am 
I lit up like a match  Because i bled gasoline 
       F        G                  C        F 
Made a torch of myself   Until the moon was mine 
G             Am        F           G   C 
Stars made of me  How I lit up that sky  

(break with no guitar till the bass riff then back into)  

( C  F  G  Am  F  G ) 
( C  F  G  Am  F  G ) 

C         F         G      Am 
Both feet together  Slowly progressing 
F         G     C               F 
Always in time  Don't count the feathers 
G              Am     F        G 
Just count the wings  Everyday counting 
C            F           G      Am 
Everything's changing  I almost forgot it 
F          G         C 
But then I remembered
