[Verse 1]
F#m                                      D
I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies
                                       F#m
And the burning horses and the €…flaming trees
                        D
As a spiral of children climb up to the sun
                          F#m
Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me
                               E
As the past pulls away and the future begins
                     Bm                        D
I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in
                         E
Like a wave, like a wave
                                      F#m
And the past, with its savage undertow,  lets go


[Bridge]
D E F#m


[Chorus]
D                       E
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone
F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
D                       E
To the sun, to the sun, and on each golden rung
F#m                                       D E F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun


[Verse 2]
                           D
And a man called Jesus, He promised He would leave us
                                    F#m
With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night
                        D
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
                    F#m
And it isn't any fun, no, it isn't any fun
                    E
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
                    Bm
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
D                                         E
And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
                      F#m
And everybody hanging from a tree


[Chorus]
D                       E
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone
F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
D                       E
To the sun, to the sun, taking everyone
F#m
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun

[Verse 3]
                      D
There is nothing more valuable than beauty, they say
                                         F#m
There is nothing more valuable than love
                                             D
And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees
                                            F#m
And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies
                                  E
And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful
         Bm                           D E F#m
Oh, your bright green eyes, so beautiful
