Bb Gm D
Oh, You burnt the lungs
D Bb
That your ancestors created
Gm D
You sat by the banks
D Bb
Of the river and you waited
Gm D
Till time rolled back
D Bb
And the water had abated
Gm D
You drank your share
D Bb
But you still could not be sated
Gm D
Quicksands of the mind
D Bb
And the sinkholes you may find
Gm D
When you look through
D Bb Gm D
The twisting of the vines
D Bb Gm D
(The twisting of the vines)

Time comes round again

It's etching at your bones

Chill wind comes round

It's blowing through your home

Quicksands of the mind
D Bb
And the sinkholes you may find
Gm D
When you look through
D Bb
The twisting of the vines
Gm D
You burnt the lungs
D Bb
That your ancestors created
Gm D
You sat by the banks
D Bb
Of the river and you waited
Gm D
Till time rolled back
D Bb
And the water had abated
Gm D
You drank your share
D Bb
But you still could not be sated
Gm D
You said you're scared
D Bb
Of the clocks that keep ticking over
Gm D
We'll find a way
D Bb
For a life that's worth living over

Again and again

For a life that's worth living over

Again and again
