B (Em) B (Em)
So now the years are rolling by, and it’s not long since you and I
Abm E F# B
could have been train drivers and astronauts
B (Em) B (Em)
And now we’re stuck in furnished ruts, but yet the thing that really cuts
Abm E F# B (Em)
is that we can’t remember how we got caught
B (Em) B (Em)
Filtered air,computer screens, muffled sighs and might-have-beens –
Abm E F# B (Em)
count your blessings, then breathe, and count to ten
B (Em) B (Em)
And though it doesn’t often show, we are scared because we know
Abm E F# Abm
our forefathers were farmers and fishermen
Abm Eb E F#
Abm
And so the world has changed, worse or better’s hard to tell,
Eb E F#
but my hope remains within the arms of Isabel
B (Em) B (Em)
So now our calloused hands once told a story honest as it’s old
Abm E F# B
of sowing seeds and setting sail.
B (Em) B (Em)
But now our hands are soft and weak and working seven days a week
Abm E F# Abm
at these salvation schemes that are bound to fail
back to chorus
C#m Bm F#
And I’ll admit that I am scared of what I don’t understand.
C# Bm F#
But darling, if you’re there, gentle voice and soothing hands
C# Bm F#
Eb E
to quiet my despair, to shore up all my plans, darling, if you’re there...
Abm Eb E F#
Abm
And so the world has changed, and I must change as well
Eb E F# Abm
The machines we’ve made will damn us into hell
Eb E F# Abm
And the time will come when all must save themselves.
Eb E F#
I will save my soul in the arms of Isabel
outro B (Em) Abm E F#
