The Great Beyond

C  D (4x)

[Verse 1]
C                       D             C           D
I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
C                    D          C        D
All the sights that I have seen
C                  D      C
I can't believe that I believed I wished
     D
That you could see
 C                          D
There's a new planet in the solar system
         C             D
There is nothing up my sleeve

[Chorus]
 C     G        Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
 C     G        Am
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
 C              Am
Over my shoulder a piano falls
 G
Crashing to the ground

[Verse 2]
D C D
And all this talk of time
 C             D
Talk is fine
    C                D          C     D
And I don't want to stay around
C                 D             C
Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes
       D
And sleep sweet dreams
 C                D               C   D
Being here with wings on our feet

[Chorus]
 C     G        Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
 C     G        Am
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
 C              Am
Over my shoulder a piano falls
 G
Crashing to the ground

[Bridge]
 Am   C        G
I'm breaking through
     D
I'm bending spoons
 Am    C      G        D
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
 Am    C        G                D        C
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

[Instrumental]
D C D C C D C D

[Verse 3]
           C                   D
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
 C                 D
Sweetest dreams of you
C             D
Look into the stars
C              D
Look into the moon

[Chorus]
 C     G        Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
 C     G        Am
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
 C              Am
Over my shoulder a piano falls
 G
Crashing to the ground

[Verse]
 Am   C        G
I'm breaking through
     D
I'm bending spoons
 Am    C      G        D
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
 Am    C        G                D        C
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
 Am   C        G
I'm breaking through
     D
I'm bending spoons
 Am    C      G        D
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
 Am    C        G                D
I'm looking for answers from the great
C   G
Answers ...
 Am   C        G
I'm breaking through
     D
I'm bending spoons
 Am    C      G        D
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
 Am    C        G                D      C
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
