tom:

          G               D/F#
All these words roll into one
Em7no5        Em7no5/D  G/B       C
Together we revolve    around the sun
    Bm                                C             D
And if you get the chance, watch the young children dance
     Am             C                 D
In a little while, you will see them smile

          G             D/F#
Truth may dazzle gradually
       Em7no5           Em7no5/D  G/B     C
It all comes out in the wash      eventually
Bm                          C          D
Try to catch a gleam, if you know what I mean
        Am            C              D
You may even see the cogs in the machine

[Chorus]
C    G     D         
Reconvene, reconnect
C       G            D
raise a glass to the architect
C        G          D
Cause it turned out better
C    G       D
     So much better
C    G       D           Em
     Than we ever did expect

                    G                   Em                    G

           G                  D/F#
Find your treasures where you will
Em7no5           Em7no5/D   G/B      C 
Don't you stop until you've had your fill
    Bm                      c            D
Wherever you may go, look around take it slow
      Am               C                 D
There might be more to this than we all know

    G                       D/F#
And if we had the chance to see the rough draft
Em7no5          Em7no5/D    G/B     C
I bet the early plans would make us laugh
       Bm                          C      D
And it never seems to help when we try to intervene
Am              C               D
Some things are better left unseen

[Chorus]
C    G     D

raise a glass to the architect

Cause it turned out better
C    G       D
     So much better
C    G       D           Em
     Than we ever did expect
