Verse 1:
C                      Em
E|----| I pushed off the pier
            Am
Infinity ran cold
                D
And filled up my ears
                      G
There's the weapon you hold;
                           F
There's the thing that you hold it to
                 C
And the thing you hold dear.

Verse 2:
C                  Em
Oh the speed of a year
               Am
It runs the wood dry
           D
And water unclear
                         G
There's the thing you hold high;
                                    F
And then there's the thing that you hold it to
                  C
And the thing you hold dear.

Verse 3:
C             Em       Am              D
I will be an enemy to men seen in the light!
                  G
Do you think it's all right?
                  F
Yes I think it's all right!

It's all right!

Verse 4:
                Bb
If you make the waves
                  F
The sun makes the rays
                 Bb
The speed of the Light
                  F
Can be trusted to prey
                Bb
To prey on the fools
                   F
That pushed off your pier
                 Bb           F
The whirling of pools runs clear
                C
Da-da-da-da-da-dum
         Am
Da-da-da-dum
          F
Da-da-da-dum


Verse 5:
   C
So I'll be out till the shimmering dies
          Em
I said I'll be out till the shimmering dies
         Am
It's the wringing out the predatory nature of the sky
          D
And the ringing sound it makes when it's burning out your eyes
         G               F
It's all right. IT IS ALL RIGHT!
                      C
It's the speed of the light
                    Em
It's the speed of a year
                    Am
It's the weapon you hold,
                       D
And the thing you hold dear.
                  G
OH my dear, oh my dear
                 F
It's infinity's time to shine out here

Verse 6:
                Bb
If you make the waves
                  F
The sun makes the rays
                 Bb
The speed of the Light
                  F
Can be trusted to prey
                Bb
To prey on the fools
                    F
That pushed off your pier
                 Bb           F
The whirling of pools runs clear

Da-da-da-dum

        Dm
Da-da-dum
               Bb                        F
The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors
                 Bb              F
The whirling of pools running clear.

It's the thing you know and my taking it away
   Am
I know
                 E
But I'll find a way
