    G
    I read whatever it is you give me

    At the real Neil Armstrong taught me

    C
    To play cutthroat at my Aunt Angela\’s house
    G
    While my real dad\’s skate got caught in the ice

    G C
    Time has come now to stop being human
    D G
    Time to find a new creature to be
    G C
    Be a fish or a weed or a sparrow
    D C G
    For the Earth has grown tired and all of your time has expired
    G C
    All the gardens are sprouting with flowers
    D G
    All the treetops are bursting with birds
    G C
    And the people all know that it\’s over
    D Am G
    They lay down their ears and they hang up their tiresome words
