Verse 1:
E           Bsus4 B       E
Scared of losing all the time
     Bsus4   B    E
He wrote it in a letter
   Bsus4   B       E     Bsus4  B
He was a friend of mine
E        Bsus4      B        E
He heard you could see your future
   Bsus4   B        E
Inside a glass of water
    Bsus4   B         E    Bsus4  B
The ripples and the rhymes
(B)        A                             B
And he asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?'

Oh that is just the way it was,

Nothing could be better,
     Bsus4  B    E   Bsus4  B
and nothing ever was.
     E        Bsus4  B        E
Oh, they say you can see your future
   Bsus4   B        E
inside a glass of water.
    Bsus4   B         E     Bsus4  B
The riddles and the rhymes
A                              B
   Will I see heaven in mine?
A 
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I

Neither how full    nor empty is your glass
 E   Abm  Dbm   A      E   Abm  Dbm  A
Cling         to the mast
             E      Abm  Dbm    A              Bsus4  A
Spend your whole life    living in your past

Going nowhere fast

So he wrote it on a wall
     Bsus4 B      E        Bsus4 B      E    Bsus4  B
The hollow-est of halos is no  halo at all
E    Bsus4  B         E
Televisions selling plastic
Bsus4 B       E         Bsus4   B        E    Bsus4  B
Figurines of leaders saying nothing at all
           A
And we chimed, stars in heaven align
A 
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I

Neither how full    nor empty is your glass
 E   Abm  Dbm   A      E   Abm  Dbm  A
Cling         to the mast
             E      Abm  Dbm    A              Bsus4  A
Spend your whole life    living in your past
       A 
Going nowhere fast

Glasses of water.
