  			G                                        D 
Right now, we are making progress. 
                           Em                                           C 
We are making dreams come true, just like we discussed 
                               G                                        D 
in our most recent letters, communiquÈs and measures 
                            Em                                        C 
of memories and treasures, kept in bricks and mortar 
                      G                       D 
I won't last forever I won't even try to 
                         Em                                     C 
I'm just making progress I don't know what else to do. 
            G        D        Em                    C 
It's just this could be work for you and me. 


G                                        D 
Right now, we are making progress. 
                           Em                              C 
Just listen to the bugs exploding on the windshield 
                        G                          D 
or is it just the crackling aurora borealis 
                       Em                                               C 
or is it just the tip-toe of small things through the tall grass. 
                         G       D        Em                      C 
Or is it just that this could be work for you and me? 


G                                        D 
Right now, we are making progress. 
                           Em                            C 
We are hanging upside down inside a vacuum 
                       A7                                         G 
we are taking round trips and we don't even know it 
                                E                                        Am 
our hammers fall in silence knocking down the forest 
                         D                                         G 
exploding all around us and I'm committing treason 
                                E                                          Am 
'cause I'm love with reason and humans are the nicest 
                       Bm                                  A7 
when they fall silent reflecting what lies deepest 
                             G                                  E7 
you can hear the seashore you  can see forever 
                          Am                                       A7 
if you keep it all together and don't let up the pressure 
                             G                                  E7 
what good's a revolution?  A rising and a setting sun 
                           Am                                               D 
a trip around the bright one  lets you off where you started from 
                  G                                         E7 
following a straight line going through a tight wind 
                         Am                               Bm 
I'm in love with sunshine I'm in love with humankind. 

Right Now.
