G                         Am
 In the beginning we were scrambled together
           C                       D              Dsus2
Mixed in a celestial bowl and hand fluffed with a feather
        Em                       D
And the tears of bliss were not amiss
              C
It was a good day


G                         Am
The second day, we created the earth
   C                        D              Dsus2
Tickled in irony as we made love upon it's girth
    Em                  D               C
And to our delight, the sun gave us the stars


       G                       Am
The creation of the moon was a miracle of light
   C                                D            Dsus2
Descended from the rift in the dark star of night
   G                           D              C
My veins pulsed butter as it illuminated your thighs


       G                      Am
On the fourth day, we felt compelled to whistle
    C                          D              Dsus2
For how could we call the love birds to nestle
            Em              D              C
And keep us company in this world anew and fresh?


[Chorus]
  C                               G                                     Em
Today I paint to life, a portrait of the sacred friend, the perfect wife
   D          C
In synesthesia
                 C
Together we have filled the world with colored wine
        G
But the story nears the present time
     Em               D     C
Of restlessness and wake up calls
C                G
Wake up! Wake up!


G                         Am
Years have flown fast but then who's counting
    C                              D           Dsus2           Em
The wars have been won but there's few left standing between us
        D                        C
And the shadows of Christmas past


   G                        Am
Critically acclaimed but sadly underrated
    C                              D             Dsus
Fortune definitely favored us, but no one celebrated
    Em        D                  C
Our wits were splitting at their ends...


[Chorus]
   C
We gazed upon the city lights
        G                                Em
We each laughed aloud one final time and agreed:
        D               C
This is one thing we'll miss…


          C
And as we held our breath and forced our will
    G
The minutes stopped, the air was still
      Em                 D       C
And minds began to unlearn their faulted ways


                       C
We blasted through the hills!
                                                  G
They were the first to go, and the most painful so

Because we made them first when we learned to bleed
         Em                            D
With our fingers on the seeds that sowed in the dirt
           C
And then cried when we came in the glorious masterwork of life ending
      G
And beginning again


      Em                        Am
We ignored the pleas of the forest and the seas
      C
As we scorched the earth with our tears…

   C
We burned them in fear
              C
Until there's nothing left
C
Nothing left
     C
Nothing, nothing left
    G
But us
