Em
Gilbert works alone, late into the night
F                         C                  F
Dangling from a freeway overpass
Em
He’s welding rebar and sculpting concrete
F                                 C                  F
They’re paving in the gap way out west
Dm                               Am
Off in the distance the sleeping city shines
F               C                     F
Raises his mask to take a look
Dm                                      Am
Slips from the perch still holding onto his torch
F                        C                            F
I see him falling just like a burning star

                    Em       C    Am    F
Out of control mmmmmm mmmmmm
                                        Em     C    Am       F
And heading way of course mmmmmmm mmmmmm

Em                            F                  C
Waking up confused in a bed of thorn
            F                            Em
And a world turn upside down
Em
No questionasked no party ever surched 
F                             C                   F
Like a blip Gilbert slips into the void
Dm                            Am
A rustle nearby and vision appears
F                   C                        F
Made from saquaro boots and rib
Dm
She takes ahold of his prickly hand
          Am
And together they stand

F                                C               F
Walk on through the ruins of a world 

That lost control...
Em      C     Am       F....

The most beautiful song
