Cardinal Directions ThouShaltNot
<i></i>No capo.
[Dm]I split the atom of one [F]second
Choosing history's [C]lathe
Each word summons now the [Bb]next
A master to his [Dm]slave
[Dm]Countless links
Within some [F]silent chain
And time [C]becomes the sediment that drifts to [Bb]algae
Divorced from comets' [Dm]trains
[Dm]In the East, a refl[F]ection
Of the Western [C]sunset
North, South, pole to [Bb]pole
Turn back in regret
[Dm]And to the East I might [F]stumble
To the West I would [C]crawl
And if North is the [Bb]winter
Then South is the [C]fall
(>>>>>>>>Chorus<<<<<<<<<<)
C variation? Bb
And if I had my way, I'd make the clock rewind
I'd live again that moment, though I know I'll never [F]find
The future that I missed, a parallel [F#]line
Where the world would be so [G#]bright that it could make us all go [C#]blind
And if I had my day, there's so much I'd [B]reclaim
The sanctity of motion, the neverending [F#]rain
The cardinal directions, all pointing to the [G]past
Where realities [A]converge, and for a moment, we're the same
[Dm]And magnets spin the compass
In an embryonic flame
[Dm]Somewhere is the [F]promise
Of an uncharted [C]trail
With seven hundred branching [Bb]limbs
And seven hundred ways to [Dm]fail
[Dm]To the East, a r[F]eflection
Of the new moon in the [C]West
Her timeless watch is [Bb]quiet
Over tides of her [Dm]unrest
[Dm]To the North is the [F]current
Of a man breathing [C]out
Giving birth to the [Bb]breeze
To be inhaled in the [C]South
<<<<<<<<<<<(chorus)>>>>>>>>
[Dm]Same as always
Same as always
