E                             D
The brilliance of my fleeting mind
             C                 B
chimes like voices in foreign caves
             E               D
it chimes in time - takes me where I'm going
         C
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing
B                        E
believe it when I pin it down
    D          A       E
And that's not hard to forget
         D
With my hands upon my knees
A                               E
You will steal from my fleeting mind

[Verse 2]
E
Remember all our words
               D
they are just smoke rings in the rain :
               C
that's just a poem in brilliant places
    E
but poets, they are too grim

they steal like party thieves
      D
from crowded rooms
                     C           B
to rhyme their homes with better places
                        E
The brilliance of their minds
               D
will seek with never knowing
         C
alone my fleeting mind is knowing
B                        E
believe it when I pin it down
    D          A       E
And that's not hard to forget
        D
with my thought like sifting leaves
A                        E
I believe in my fleeting mind.

(Solo)

                        E
The brilliance of their minds
               D
will seek with never knowing
         C
alone my fleeting mind is knowing
B                        E
believe it when I pin it down
    D          A       E
And that's not hard to forget   x4 to fade
