A On a floating lily island D G Moving over slowly sideways A Rest the temporary creatures F E Spending all of their days Waitin' for the floor to Buckle down below their belts Crashin' into yet another Driftin' continental shelf Chorus: F Moving without motion A Screaming without sound D Across an open ocean F A# A Lying there on temporary ground - x2 The old explorers had it easy They discovered nothin' new But returned on home with answers Of sad existence clues All the creatures have it hard now Nothin' but God is left to know And while He left us all here hangin' With an illusion of a home Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A# D E F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
