Scared of losin' all the time
     G         A        D
He wrote it on a letter
     G       A          D  G  A
He was a friend of mine
 D        G         A        D
He heard you could see your future
   G       A        D
Inside a glass of water
        G     A         D  D  G  A
With ripples and the lines
           G                      A  A  A  A
He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine

     D      G        A       D
Oh that is just the way it was,
       G     A        D
and nothing could be better,
     G      A     D  D  G  A
and nothing ever was.
    D  G              A        D
Oh he said you could see your future,
   G       A        D
inside a glass of water,
        G     A         D   D  G  A
With riddles and the rhymes
 G                         A
'Will I see heaven in mine
A   A   A
Oh, oh, oh

Cling        to the mast

Spend your whole life   living in your past

Going nowhere fast

So he wrote it on a wall
          G    A       D        G    A    D    G  A
that the hollowest of halos is no halo at all
     D   G     A         D      G     A       D
And television selling plastic figurines of leaders
   G       A      D    G A
saying nothing at all
            G
And we chime 'Stars in heaven, align!'

Oh, oh, oh

And what I'll be drinking when we're done?

Just glasses of water
