Verse
[C]Late New Year's Eve, paper [F]hat on your [C]head
It was [Am]hard to believe that you'd [F]ever be [C]dead
And that dream that you're falling you've [F]had since you were [C]five
It's a [Am]bird on your shoulder that [F]whispers [C]goodbye
G6 (leading into chorus)
Chorus
[Am]What is moving will be [E]still
What has [F]gathered will dis[C]perse
What has been [Am]built up will [E]collapse
All of your [F]dreams
All [C]fulfilled[G6]
Interlude
Bird whistles over this progression following the same pattern.
The second verse and chorus are identical to the first, whilst the third verse swaps
pattern for single chords.
One little bit, just before the second verse goes like this.
e|-----0-0-----0-0-----------| B|-----1-1-----1-1-----------| G|---------------------------| D|----------2--------3--2--0-| A|--3------------------------| E|---------------------------|
Then as before
e|-----0-0-----0-0----0-0-----0-0--| B|-----1-1-----1-1----1-1-----1-1--| G|----------0---------0-0-----0-0--| D|------------------2------0-------| A|--3------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|
Before hitting the second verse.
Good luck!
