Verse
C F C
Late New Year's Eve, paper hat on your head
Am F C
It was hard to believe that you'd ever be dead
F C
And that dream that you're falling you've had since you were five
Am F C
It's a bird on your shoulder that whispers goodbye
G6 (leading into chorus)
Chorus
Am E
What is moving will be still
F C
What has gathered will disperse
Am E
What has been built up will collapse
F
All of your dreams
C G6
All fulfilled
Interlude
Bird whistles over this progression following the same pattern.
The second verse and chorus are identical to the first, whilst the third verse swaps
pattern for single chords.
One little bit, just before the second verse goes like this.
e|-----0-0-----0-0-----------|
B|-----1-1-----1-1-----------|
G|---------------------------|
D|----------2--------3--2--0-|
A|--3------------------------|
E|---------------------------|
Then as before
e|-----0-0-----0-0----0-0-----0-0--|
B|-----1-1-----1-1----1-1-----1-1--|
G|----------0---------0-0-----0-0--|
D|------------------2------0-------|
A|--3------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
Before hitting the second verse.
Good luck!
