Fugacity

Capo 3rd fret


  G                           C
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
     Am                         Em
I'll wake as a child to see the world begin.
                     Am            Em
On monarch wings and birthday wonderings,
        D             Am                      D7
I wanna put on faces, walk in the wet and the cold,
         G          Bm         C
And look forward to my growing old.
   D                         Em
To grow old is to change, to change is to be new,
      Am                          C               D
To be new is to be young again, I barely remember when
   Em           Am            Em
My memories are stolen by the morning,
                   Am             Em
Blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye.
           Em7            B7
Out by the sun's hypnotic eye.


Em   D   D7/A


  G                           C
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
     Am                         Em
I'll wake as a child to see the world begin.
                     Am            Em
On monarch wings and birthday wonderings,
        D             Am                      D7
I wanna put on faces, walk in the wet and the cold,
         G          Bm         C    Em
And look forward to my growing old.
