Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Scared of losing all the time

He wrote it in a letter

He was a friend of mine

He heard you could see your future

Inside a glass of water

The ripples and the rhymes

And he asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?'

Verse 2

Oh that is just the way it was,

Nothing could be better,

and nothing ever was.

Oh, they say you can see your future

inside a glass of water.

The riddles and the rhymes

Will I see heaven in mine?

Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I

Chorus 1

Son, don't ask,

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in your past

Going nowhere fast

Verse 3

So he wrote it on a wall

The hollow-est of halos is no halo at all

Televisions selling plastic

Figurines of leaders saying nothing at all

And we chimed, stars in heaven align

Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I

Chorus 2

Son, don't ask,

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in your past

Going nowhere fast

Bridge

Outro

And what are we drinking when we're done?

Glasses of water.

End on D.
