     G                              D
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing
                      G
I'm very scared for this world
                     D
I'm very scared for me
                 G
Eviscerate your memory
           G
Here's a scene
       D
You're in the back seat laying down
     G
The windows wrap around you
     D                          C
The sound of the travel and the engine

Chorus:
C                G                    C
All you hear is time stand still in travel
                        G
You feel such peace and absolute
                          C
The stillness still that doesn't end
                  G
But slowly drifts into sleep
                    D
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
      D
And they're there for you
     D                            G
For you alone, you are the everything

I think about this world a lot and I cry
(Say, say, the light)
And I've seen the films and the eyes
(Say, say, the light)
But I'm in this kitchen, everything is beautiful
(Say, say, the light)
And she is so beautiful,
she is so young and old
(Say, say, the light)
I look at her and
I see the beauty of the light of music

Chorus:
     C                                 G
The voice is talking somewhere in the house
                         C
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
           G
With your teeth in your mouth
D
You are here with me
D
You are here with me
D                                     Am
You have been here and you are everything

Sometimes I feel like
I can't even sing
(Say, say, the light)
I'm very scared for this world,
I'm very scared for me
(Say, say, the light)
Eviscerate your memory, here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down
(Say, say, the light)
The windows wrap around
to sound of the travel and the engine
(Say, say, the light)

Chorus:
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute,
the stillness still
That doesn't end but slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you, for you alone
You are the everything

For you alone you are the everything
