Em  G  Cmaj7 x2

Em

Em                       G
When we touch the world
        Cmaj7      Em
And it falls away 
                             G
When we feel that we're born
        Cmaj7      Em
Just to fall apart
                             G
And our mother lies in state
        Cmaj7                   Em
And the broken pitcher glistens
                              G
And the snow is at the window
          Cmaj7                 Em
Creating neither sign nor symbol

     Am                   C/E
And the earth covers earth
     Am                  C/E
And the mud lies in pools

           Em                    G
Where the sand-dunes stretch unbroken
         Cmaj7              Em
And the dry wind bends and sighs
                              G
And the geese are running harmless
     Cmaj7                  Em
And our desires are running wild
                               G
Then we're looking at the smoke
        Cmaj7                  Em
That's rising from the incense
                              G
Neither coming here nor going
        Cmaj7                Em
Neither heaven here nor hell
                                  G
Neither borning here nor birthing
        Cmaj7               Em
Neither dying here nor death

           Am                  C/E
And we're wrapped inside our troubles
           Am                 C/E
And we're wrapped inside our pain

     Em                       G
And wracked with fires with longing
        Cmaj7                 Em
And our eyes are blind with night
                             G
With our fingers clutching coins
        Cmaj7                  Em
And our thoughts burning with 'I'
                         G   
And our eyes cannot be sated
          Cmaj7            Em
With the world and its nightmares
                          G
With the world and its dreams
         Cmaj7             Em
Though later they'll be filled

        Am               C/E
With a small handful of dust
        Am                   C/E
And the gods appear on the altars

 Em                 G
And we recognise their face
        Cmaj7             Em
It's a face that we have carved there
                              G
And it's full of fear and longing
      Cmaj7            Em
And promises and threats
                             G
But they neither stoop to conquer
     Cmaj7             Em
Nor do they stoop to praise
                              G
And the mines are void of diamonds
     Cmaj7             Em
That we carry in our rags

[Thungder Perfect Mind]

Am            Cmaj7
Then all the world seems
   Em
A sadness song
            G   Cmaj7
A sadness song
           Em
A sadness song
             G          Cmaj7
And all the world seems
           Em
A sadness song
