Tom: C
C Em F Em
[Verse 1]
C
My better self still knows
Em
That meaning comes and goes
F
What is it made? I do not know
Em
But meaning comes and it goes
C
Each and every portent
Em
Of bitter substance spent
F
Despite the effort I have planned
Em
You seem to lose what I've meant
F C Em
[Chorus]
F
If I don't use words
C Em
Then each sound goes unheard
F C Em
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
F C Em
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
F C Em
A purposely function that cannot be met
[Verse 2]
C
Those who created know
Em
Air is in man and blow
F
Only the value given shows
Em
That meaning comes and goes
C
My better self still knows
Em
That meaning comes and goes
F
What is it made? I do not know
Em
But meaning comes and it goes
F C Em
[Chorus]
F
If I don't use words
C Em
Then each sound goes unheard
F C Em
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
F C Em
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
F C Em
A purposely function that cannot be met
F
If I don't use words
C Em
Then each sound goes unheard
F C Em
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
F C Em
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
F C Em
A purposely function that cannot be met
[Outro]
C
My better self still knows
Em
That meaning comes and goes
F
What is it made? I do not know
Em
But meaning comes and it goes
