Bright Eyes - Arc Of Time Chords

[Verse 1]

        B                    F#
You can make a plan carve it into stone
       E                     B
Like a feather falling it is still unknown
          B                         F#
Until the clock speaks up says it's time to go
          E                      B
You could choose the high or the lower road


[Verse 2]

          B                          F#
You might clench your fist you might fork your tongue
       E                       B
As you curse or praise all the things you've done
        B                   F#        N.C.
And the faders move and the music dies
      N.C.             B
As we pass over on the arc of time


[Chorus 1]

       E                      F#                  B               E
So you nurse your love like a wounded dove in the covered cage of night
      E                     F#                       B               E
Every star is crossed by frenetic thoughts that separate and then collide
         G#m                       F#                   B         E
And they twist like sheets til you fall asleep and they finally unwind
       N.C.                 E                   B
It's a black balloon it's a dream you'll soon deny


[Verse 3]

          B                     F#
I hear if you make friends with Jesus Christ
         E                      B
You will get right up from that chalk outline
                B                        F#
And then you'll get dolled up and you'll dress in white
       E                      B
All to take your place in his chorus line


[Chorus 2]

         E                         F#                  B             E
And then in you'll come with those marching drums in a saintly compromise
        E                     F#                           B             E
No more whiskey slurs no more blonde haired girls for your whole eternal life
           G#m                   F#                   B            E
And you'll do the dance that was choreographed at the very dawn of time
          F#               E
Singing I told you son the day would come
          B
You would die you die you die you die
          B
You would die you die you die you die
          B
You would die you die you die you die
          B
You would die you die you die


[Chorus 3]

       G#m                 F#              B               E
To the deepest part of the human heart the fear of death expands
       G#m                    F#                     B          E
Til we crack the code we have always known but could never understand
     N.C.
On a circuit board 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
