Gmaj7/D
Thoughts that keep swirling Dmaj7/C# Into my head. A The seconds keep twirling. Dmaj7
Virtually dead. Gmaj7/D I see an imprint, Dmaj7/C# From some other past. A Another era Dmaj7 That thought it would last. Em A7 A rustling in the breeze Em C#, D A cure for some disease G Dsus2 Fellow travellers on the trail E-7sus4 A D These collective memories Gmaj7/D
Brimming with insight
Dmaj7/C#
Just like a film.

Shaping the discourse
Dmaj7
Like we never will.
Gmaj7/D I feel an imprint, Dmaj7/C# Of some other past. A Some other family Dmaj7 That thought it would last. Em A7 A rustling in the breeze Em C#, D That shapes the way he sees. G Dsus2 They were travellers on the trail E-7sus4 A D These collective memories. F#-7b9 A6 You tell the same old stories: G+9/F# Em7 They change a few bits out. F#-7b9 A6 That doesn't really change G+9/F# Em7 What the story's all about. Em A7 A rustling in the trees; Em C#, D A perfect Tuscan frieze. G Dsus2 Made by travellers on the trail E-7sus4 A D These collective memories. F#-7b9 A6 They tell the same old stories: G+9/F# Em7 They changed a few bits out. F#-7b9 A6 That doesn't really change G+9/F# Em7 What the story's all about. Em A7 A rustling in the breeze Em C#, D A cure for some disease.
