[Verse 1]
D C Bb
I crowned the same old passing of time
D Bb Cm
Gave the golden scepter though it was never really mine
D C F D
He made the days all pass me by
D Bb Cm
In such idyllic swiftness, he didn't even try
[Chorus]
D Cm
And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears
D Cm
Tenderly, until all sound disappears
D Cm
Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees
D Cm D
Vigorously. Well, it has stopped to move me
Am Eb D Bb Am Eb D
Ahhhh
[Verse 2]
D C
I praised the same old spending of time
D Bb
Slept on the whitest beaches in the calmest of nights
D Cm Bb
They held me chained and captive so I
D Cm C
Could never join the sea in its ever changing tides
[Bridge]
C Bb D
If I'm to let it in
C Eb D
It might just stay forever
C Eb D
For if I'm to welcome him
C Eb D
We might just stay together
Am Eb D Bb Am Eb D
Ahhhh
[Verse 3]
D G Cm Bb
The crown remains, it’s always been mine
F D G Cm G Gb
I ought to wear it better, I ought to know it now
[Chorus]
D Cm
And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears
D Cm
Tenderly, until all sound disappears
D Cm Eb
Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees
D Cm D
Vigorously. Well, it has stopped to move me
[Outro]
Am Eb D Bb Am Gb D
Ahhhh
