[Verse]
G    E    D
Don’t be concerned
F         Am            C                  G     E
 It’s just the way that gravity works round here
   D       F       Am      C       G
All slowly rising, falling patiently
E    D
Feel no
F       Am   C
Feel no fear
G      D
Cirrus caress you
F       C
Cumulus kiss you
Em           G
Raindrops of crystal
Am            C
Whisper we’ll miss you
    Em  F Dm
But go…
    A
Let go

Am
Always and always and always ascending
Am
The opening line leaves an uncertain ending
Am
Always and always and always ascending
Am                            Cm
The chords seem to pause, but ah…
Am
Never going to resolve
Am              Cm
Talk to me, but ah...

[Chorus]
A C          D#
   Wake me up
A
Waking up dry
A
Waking up dusty
A
Feeling remorse
A
Feeling thirsty
G
Bring me a cup
D              A
Bring me water
