[Intro] C  Em/G  Dm  Em

[Primeira Parte]

C
 My better self still knows
Em/G
 That meaning comes and goes
Dm
 What is it made? I do not know
Em
 But meaning comes and it goes

C
 Each and every portent
Em/G
 Of bitter substance spent
Dm
 Despite the effort I have planned
Em
 You seem to lose what I've meant

( Dm7  C/G  G  Am7 )
( Dm7  C/G  G  Am7  G )

[Refrão]

   Dm7
If I don't use words
          C/G        G      Am7
Then each sound goes unheard
Dm7                 C/G         G       Am7 G
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Dm7                       C/G   G      Am7
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
  Dm7                     C/G    G     Am7
A purposely function that cannot be met

[Segunda Parte]

C
 Those who created know
Em/G
 Air is in man and blow
Dm
 Only the value given shows
Em
 That meaning comes and goes

C
 My better self still knows
Em/G                         Dm
 That meaning comes and goo-o-es
                             Em
What is it made? I do not know

But meaning comes and it goes
