[Verse 1]
     G                    Am
Some plans were made, and rice was thrown
  C                  D
A house was built, a baby born
    C                   D
How time can move both fast and slow
 G
Amazes me
         G                  Am
And so I raise my glass to symmetry
       C                    D
To the second hand and its accuracy
       C               D
To the actual size of everything
    G
The desert is the sand
 
                  Em
You can't hold it in your hand
                C
It won't bow to your demands
            Am
There's no difference you can make
            D
There's no difference you can make
                        Em
And if it seems like an accident
             C
A collage of senselessness
            Am
You aren't looking hard enough
         D
I wasn't looking hard enough
    Cm
At it
 
[Instrumental]
G D C D C D G
 
[Verse 2]
   G             Am
An argument for consciousness
    C                D
The instinct of the blind insect
    C                  D
Who makes love to the flower bed
    G
And dies in the first freeze
      G                   Am
Oh, I want to learn such simple things
   C             D
No politics, no history
     C                D
'Til what I want and what I need
    G
Can finally be the same
 
             Em
I just got myself to blame
                 C
Leave everything up to fate
              Am
When there's choices I could make
              D
When there's choices I could make
                       Em
Yeah, my heart needs a polygraph
                   C
Always so eager to pack my bags
        Am
When I really wanna stay
        D
When I really wanna stay
 
        Em
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
        C
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
        Am
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
        D
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)
        Cm
When I wanna stay
 
[Instrumental]
G D C G D
 
[Verse 3]
     G
The arc of time, the stench of sex
     G
The innocence you can't protect
       D
Each quarter note, each marble step
     D
Walk up and down that lonely treble clef
 
C
  Each wanting the next one
C
  Each wanting the next one to arrive
G
  Each wanting the next one
D
  Each wanting the next one to arrive
 
    G
An argument for consciousness
     G
The instinct of the blind insect
     D
Who never thinks not to accept
     D
Its fate; that's faith, there's happiness in death
 
C
  You give to the next one
C
  You give to the next on down the line
G
  You give to the next one
D
  You give to the next on down the line
 
    G
The levity of longing that
   G
Distills each dream inside my head
   D
By morning, watered-down, forget
    D
On silver stars, I wish and wish and wish
 
C
  From one to the next one
C
  From one to the next right down the line
G
  From one to the next one
D
  From one to the next right down the line
 
G D
 
C
  You give to the next one
C
  You give to the next on down the line
G
  You give to the next one
D
  You give to the next on down the line

Got one of the verses really wrong... Normally I wouldn't mind and wouldn't say anything, but I thought it was a really good set of lines. Here it is: The levity of longing that Distills each dream inside my head By morning watered down, forget, On silver stars I wish and wish and wish

Is it just me that can hear a more elaborate bit between the two verses than simply C and G? A rough approximation (after the held C at the end of the first verse) would be G, C, Am, D followed by G, C and G, but the second to last G doesn't quite sound right to me. Still, it's better than nothing.

But good job with the chords, arguably the only important part on this site anyways :P
