Intro: Am  


Verse 1:
All my life I've been treading
paper in the space between the words
   A F
And  there implied is that 
                                  A
I'm but another body for the birds
Am
carrion absurd and accidental 
F             Am A
atoms beating air
Am
carrying on unwitting orphan 
      A             Am
of an unyielding despair


Guitar Solo: Am   x2


Verse 2:
    Am
But linger on just for a moment
      Dm          A
until we can ascertain if
Amsomething's wrong with me

Or the assumptions of these 
Dm            A
self indicted brains
        Am             G
Because I contend that all 

of this is more than just 
  Dm             A
a meaningless charade
     Am
That each and every moment is 
                             A(hold)
a bottle with a message hid away


Chorus 1:
F       Am             G
  If anything means anything
           Dm           Am
There must be something meant 
          G   F
for us to be a song 
     Am              G
that we were made to sing
           Dm
There must be so much 
Am               G
more than we can see


Verse 3:
    Am            G
But all our lives we've
been treading paper 
        F                A
in the space between the words
    Am                  G
And there implied's the thought 
that we are barely more than 
F              A     Am
bodies for the birds carrion
     G
They say that we're just accidental 
Dm            A   Am              G
atoms beating air carrying on and on
                        Dm
Unwitting orphans of an unyielding 
   A
despair 


Bridge:
Dm
  But our hearts 
                  F
tell a different story
Dm                           E
  our hands feel a different pulse


Chorus 2:

Silence: 
F       C              G
  If anything means anything
           F            C
There must be something meant 
          G
for us to be

Distortion:
F       Am             G
  If anything means anything
           Dm            Am
There must be something meant 
          G F
for us to be a song
     Am              G
that we were made to sing
           Dm
There must be so much 
Am               G
more than we can see


Outro:
          F                 Dm
Something fathomless deeper than our 
               F               Dm
pride can dive numinous higher than
                    F
Our hearts can rise transcendent
        Dm
further than our thoughts
          F
can reach immanent
       Dm              A(hold)
closer than the air we breathe
