C#m        B       A
You never got it wrong
    F#m     B     C#m
You always got it right
              B        A
But now some time has passed;
       F#m       B      E
You're ever so slightly off
  D                    F#m
Things you could do asleep
      B                E
In a not too distant past
      D
Are trying your patience
F#m     A
Harder now

Chorus:
       E
And though
G#m                A
Everything moves along
    G#m
You hope the rumor's wrong
      A      F#
That Mother Nature
 A    B   C#m
Goes to heaven

Right
You never got it wrong
It always got away
When you had it nailed
It was ever so slightly off
Sending you somewhere else
Than where you had to be
Making it that much
Harder now

Chorus:
And though
You're struggling to get on track
It pales somewhat to the fact
That Mother Nature
goes to heaven

                A            C#m  E
And there will be no sadder day
A              G#m
When all the birds
            C#m
Have flown away

E      D
Are trying your patience
F#m     A
Harder now

Chorus:
And though
Everything moves along
You hope the rumor's wrong
That Mother Nature goes to heaven
Mother Nature goes to heaven
