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:
