Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes - Arc of Time guitar tab

Arc of Time

B

You can make a plan

F#

Carve it into stone

E

Like a feather falling

B

It is still unknown

B

Until the clock speaks up

F#

Says it's time to go

E

You could choose the high

B

Or the lower road

B

You might clinch your fist

F#

You might fork your tongue

E

As you curse or praise

B

All the things you've done

B

And the faders move

F#

And the music dies

E

As we pass over

B

On the arc of time

E

So you nurse your love

F#

Like a wounded dove

B E

In the covered cage of night

E

Every star is crossed

F#

By phrenetic thoughts

B E

That seperate and then collide

E

And they twist like sheets

F#

Till you fall asleep

B E

And they finally unwind

E

It's a black balloon

F# B

It's a dream you'll soon deny

B

I hear if you make friends

C#m

With Jesus Christ

E

You will get right up

B

From that chalk outline

B

And then you'll get dolled up

F#

And you'll dress in white

E

All to take your place

B

In his chorus line

E

And then in you'll come

F#

With those marching drums

B E

In a saintly compromise

E

No more whiskey slurs

F#

No more blonde haired girls

B E

For your whole eternal life

E

And you'll do the dance

F#

That was choreographed

B E

At the very dawn of time

E

Saying, I told you son

F#

The day would come

B

You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die

B

You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die

B

You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die

B

You would die, you'd die, you'd die

E

To the deepest part

F#

Of the human heart

B E

The fear of death expands

E

Till we crack the code

F#

We have always known

B E

But could never understand

E

On a circuit board

F#

We will soon be born

B

Again, again, again, again

B

And again, again, again, again

B

And again, again, again, again

B

And again, again, again
