Intro: Am
Verse 1:
All my life I've been treading
paper in the space between the words
And[A] [F]there implied is that
I'm but another body for the birds[A]
[Am]carrion absurd and accidental
[F]atoms beating [Am]air[A]
[Am]carrying on unwitting orphan
of an [A]unyielding des[Am]pair
Guitar Solo: Am x2
Verse 2:
But [Am]linger on just for a moment
until [Dm]we can ascer[A]tain if
Amsomething's wrong with me
Or the assumptions of these
[Dm]self indicted [A]brains
Because [Am]I contend that [G]all
of this is more than just
a [Dm]meaningless cha[A]rade
That [Am]each and every moment is
A(hold)
a bottle with a message hid away
Chorus 1:
[F] If any[Am]thing means any[G]thing
There must [Dm]be something [Am]meant
for us to [G]be a[F] song
that [Am]we were made to [G]sing
There must [Dm]be so much
[Am]more than we can [G]see
Verse 3:
But [Am]all our lives [G]we've
been treading paper
in the s[F]pace between the [A]words
And [Am]there implied's the [G]thought
that we are barely more than
[F]bodies for the [A]birds [Am]carrion
They [G]say that we're just accidental
[Dm]atoms beating [A]air [Am]carrying on and [G]on
Unwitting orphans of an [Dm]unyielding
des[A]pair
Bridge:
[Dm] But our hearts
tell a different s[F]tory
[Dm] our hands feel a different [E]pulse
Chorus 2:
Silence:
[F] If any[C]thing means any[G]thing
There must [F]be something [C]meant
for us to [G]be
Distortion:
[F] If any[Am]thing means any[G]thing
There must [Dm]be something m[Am]eant
for us to [G]be[F] a song
that [Am]we were made to [G]sing
There must [Dm]be so much
[Am]more than we can [G]see
Outro:
Something [F]fathomless deeper [Dm]than our
pride can dive [F]numinous higher [Dm]than
Our hearts can rise [F]transcendent
further [Dm]than our thoughts
can reach [F]immanent
Dm A(hold)
closer than the air we breathe
