[VERSE 1]
C F C
Late New Year's Eve, paper hat on your head
Am F C
it's hard to believe you'll ever be dead
C F C
But that dream where you're falling you've had since you're five
Am F C
is a bird on your shoulder who whispers goodbye
[CHORUS]
Am E
What is moving will be still
F C
What's been gathered will disperse
Am E
What's been built up will collapse
F C
All your dreams fulfilled
[VERSE 2]

Evel Knievel shot up from dead grass
Am F C
I loved him better each time he crashed

Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed
Am F C
certain that Skylab would fall on her head
[CHORUS]
Am E
What is moving will be still
F C
What's been gathered will disperse
Am E
What's been built up will collapse
F C
All your dreams fulfilled
[VERSE 3]
C F C
One night I dreamed that I dug my own grave
Am F C
and climbed down inside to patiently wait
C F C
Down in the ground I breathed the warm air
Am F C
and blackbirds flew down to nest in my hair
[CHORUS]
Am E
What is moving will be still
F C
What's been gathered will disperse
Am E
What's been built up will collapse
F C
All your dreams fulfilled
