Late New Year's Eve, paper hat on your head
   Am          F    C
it's hard to believe you'll ever be dead
      C                F        C
But that dream where you're falling you've had since you're five
   Am             F    C
is a bird on your shoulder who whispers goodbye

     Am       E
What is moving will be still
       F        C
What's been gathered will disperse
       Am        E
What's been built up will collapse
      F    C
All your dreams fulfilled

C         F       C
Evel Knievel shot up from dead grass
Am         F       C
I loved him better each time he crashed
 C           F      C
Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed
 Am            F      C
certain that Skylab would fall on her head

     Am       E
What is moving will be still
       F        C
What's been gathered will disperse
       Am        E
What's been built up will collapse
      F    C
All your dreams fulfilled

 C             F      C
One night I dreamed that I dug my own grave
   Am          F     C
and climbed down inside to patiently wait
 C           F        C
Down in the ground I breathed the warm air
   Am           F     C
and blackbirds flew down to nest in my hair

     Am       E
What is moving will be still
       F        C
What's been gathered will disperse
       Am        E
What's been built up will collapse
      F    C
All your dreams fulfilled
