B ( Em ) B ( Em )
So now the years are rolling by, and its not long since you and I

G#m E Gb B
could have been train drivers and astronauts

B ( Em ) B ( Em )
And now were stuck in furnished ruts, but yet the thing that really cuts

G#m E Gb B ( Em )
is that we cant remember how we got caught

B ( Em ) B ( Em )
Filtered air,computer screens, muffled sighs and might-have-beens

G#m E Gb B ( Em )
count your blessings, then breathe, and count to ten

B ( Em ) B ( Em )
And though it doesnt often show, we are scared because we know

G#m E Gb G#m
our forefathers were farmers and fishermen

G#m Eb E Gb
G#m
And so the world has changed, worse or betters hard to tell,

Eb E Gb
but my hope remains within the arms of Isabel


B ( Em ) B ( Em )
So now our calloused hands once told a story honest as its old

G#m E Gb 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

G#m E Gb G#m
at these salvation schemes that are bound to fail

back to chorus


C#m Bm Gb
And Ill admit that I am scared of what I dont understand.

C# Bm Gb
But darling, if youre there, gentle voice and soothing hands

C# Bm Gb
Eb E
to quiet my despair, to shore up all my plans, darling, if youre there...

G#m Eb E Gb
G#m
And so the world has changed, and I must change as well

Eb E Gb G#m
The machines weve made will damn us into hell

Eb E Gb G#m
And the time will come when all must save themselves.

Eb E Gb
I will save my soul in the arms of Isabel
