Capo on 1st 

             Em 
There's no beginning to the story 
            Bm7 
A bookshelf sinks into the sand 
               C 
And a language learned, forgot in turn 
G                  D/F# 
Studied once again 

It's a shocking bit of footage 
Viewed on a shitty TV screen 
You can squint at it 
The snow and static 
To make out what it means 

And keep stretching that antenna 
Hoping that it will come clear 
I need some reception 
A higher message 
Please tell me what to feel 


       C       D           G  G/B  C 
'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings 
                D         G G/B C 
It's alive with such possibilities 
                D      G      G/B    C 
But I know that I feel better when I sing 
            B7add4 
Burdens are lifted from me 
                Em       
That's my voice rising 

So T-Bone, please keep the tape rolling 
Gil keep strumming that guitar 
We need a record of our failures 
We must document our love 

I sat too long in my silence 
Grown too old on my pain 
To shed this skin, be born again 
It starts with an ending 

Chorus:
