[Verse 1]

Bm                             G
And then the child becomes the warrior
Bm                        G
And you're the worrier so worry over this
D                             G                              Bm            G
What's the thing that has you reaching out to grip it like a phantom limb?

[Verse 2]

Bm                        G
And to the action comes a character
Bm                        G
And he reveals a wish to see himself in ink so
D                           G                                  Bm            G
You take a pen you write a list called all the stages that the world begins

[Chorus]

Em           B        G         A
And then the years relay the seasons
Em           B                 G                 A
You fill the sky, you give him means to lift his chin
Em           B       G       A
And then the tides relay the oceans
Em           B             G      G
You give him reason for believing
          A              Bm
That he's in some creation

[Verse 3]

Bm                            G
To make him grow you give him barriers
Bm                            G
To make him grow you give him barriers to fell
     D                             G
Now, he wants to know if there's a narrator
Bm                       G
You dry the riverbed and so he builds a well
Bm                           G
And when the woman comes, he marries her
Bm                      G
And then the woman is another to himself
      D                             G
Now, she wants to know if there's a narrator
Bm                                G              G
She wants to know if there's a narrative to tell

[Break]

Em   Bm    G     A   Em   Bm    G     A
Oo - ooh - Ooh - oo

Em   Bm    G     A   Em   Bm    G     A
Oo - ooh - Ooh - oo

[Chorus]

Em           Bm    G         A
And then the years relay the seasons
Em           Bm                 G                   A
You fill the sky, you give them means to lift their chins
Em           Bm     G         A
And then the tides relay the oceans
Em            Bm         G         A
You give them reason for believing
Em           Bm     G        A
And then the years relay the seasons
Em           Bm                 G                   A
You fill the sky, you give them means to lift their chins
Em           Bm      G        A
And then the tides relay the oceans
Em           Bm          G        G
You give her reason for believing
           A             G
That she's in some creation
