Lyrics and Chords


[ D6/9 = x00200 ; Capo 2]

Remember everything I told you
Keep it in your heart like a stone
And when the winds have blown things round and back again
What was once your pain will be your home

/ Am Amsus2 D9 D6/9 / E7sus4 E7 Am Amsus2 / :

All around the table the white-haired men have gathered
Spilling their sons' blood like table wine
Remember everything I told you
Everything in its own time

/ E7sus4 E7 Am Amsus2 / D9 D6/9 E7sus4 E7 / 
   / Am Amsus2 D9 D6/9 / E7sus4 E7 Am Amsus2 /

The music whispers you in urgency
Hold fast to that languageless connection 
A thread of known that was unknown and unseen seen
Dangling from inside the fifth direction

Boys around the table are mapping out their strategies
Kings all of mountains one day dust
A lesson learned a loving god and things in their own time
In nothing more do I trust

We own nothing, nothing is ours
Not even love so fierce it burns like baby stars
But this poverty is our greatest gift
The weightlessness of us as things around begin to shift

/ E7sus4 Am E7sus4 Am / E7sus4 Am E7sus4 E7 / 
    / 1st / D9 - E7sus4 E7 /

Remember everything I told you
Keep it in your heart like a stone
And when the winds have blown things round and back again
What was once your pain will be your home

Everything in its own time
Everything in its own time
Oh...
Oh...

/ E7sus4 E7 Am Amsus2 / E7sus4 E7 /
