Thoushaltnot - Cardinal Directions Ukulele

No capo.  

Dm                      F
I split the atom of one second
                   C 
Choosing history's lathe 
                          Bb
Each word summons now the next
                Dm
A master to his slave

Dm
Countless links 
            F
Within some silent chain
         C                                   Bb
And time becomes the sediment that drifts to algae
                      Dm
Divorced from comets' trains

Dm                 F
In the East, a reflection
               C
Of the Western sunset
                      Bb
North, South, pole to pole
                       
Turn back in regret

Dm                      F
And to the East I might stumble
                    C
To the West I would crawl
                    Bb
And if North is the winter
                  C
Then South is the fall

(>>>>>>>>Chorus<<<<<<<<<<)
C variation?                            Bb
And if I had my way, I'd make the clock rewind
                                                     F   
I'd live again that moment, though I know I'll never find
                                     F#
The future that I missed, a parallel line
                            G#                                  C#
Where the world would be so bright that it could make us all go blind
           
                                         B
And if I had my day, there's so much I'd reclaim
                                        F#
The sanctity of motion, the neverending rain
                                             G
The cardinal directions, all pointing to the past
                A                                    
Where realities converge, and for a moment, we're the same

Dm                 
And magnets spin the compass

In an embryonic flame

Dm               F
Somewhere is the promise
                C
Of an uncharted trail
                             Bb
With seven hundred branching limbs
                          Dm
And seven hundred ways to fail

Dm              F
To the East, a reflection
                       C
Of the new moon in the West
                      Bb
Her timeless watch is quiet
                  Dm
Over tides of her unrest

Dm                  F
To the North is the current
                   C
Of a man breathing out
                    Bb
Giving birth to the breeze
                     C
To be inhaled in the South

Dm
Same as always

Same as always
