[Verso 1]
 
A                     Abaug 
You play the changes, watch the stars 
Gbm7                  Fmaj7 
Look for new gods and number the years 
Bm9                 Dm7               F/G  A    F E 
Since you lost your nerve and let the lady into your head 
A                      Abaug 
You fly the snowflakes down and down 
Gbm7                Fmaj7 
And join the circus you're the clown 
Bm9                    Dm7                    F/G          C                 B7 E7 
But when you're in the ring your friends have run away and left you for dead

When the boy was born and laughing at the world 
         G             F              E7 
Then was day, then was play, then was love 
Abdim7                     Am7 
When the sun was young and flying over the sky 
         G             F              E7 
Then was day, then was play, then was love

    A                               Abaug 
You went to the people played their desp'rate games 
Gbm7                      Fmaj7 
You turned your mind all around their rhymes 
Bm9                 Dm7          F/G               A    F E 
But your reason had gone, you're yearning for your lady 
A                                Abaug 
They climbed the ladder, they've joined the queue 
Gbm7                  Fmaj7 
Friends and strangers ignoring you 
              Bm9                   Dm7 F/G          C            B7 E7 
And now your, your time and tide is up the years are rolling away

The boy is old and longing for the night 
       C            D              E 
On his own, cold as stone, he goes down
