[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
So now the [G]years are rolling by,
And [C]it's not [G]long since you
and I [C]could have [Em]been
Train drivers [C]and [D]ast[G]ron[C]aut[G]s.
And [C]now we're

[Verse 2]
[G]stuck in furnished ruts,
But [C]yet the [G]thing that really cuts
Is [C]that we [Em]can't remember how
[C]we [D]got [G]caught.[C][G]
[C]Filtered

[Verse 3]
[G]air, computer screens,
[C]Muffled [G]sighs and might-have-beens
Count Count Count your [Em]blessings,
then breathe,
And [C]count [D]to ten.
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
And [C]though it [G]doesn't often show,
[C]We [G]are scared because we know
Our fore[Em]fathers were farmers
[C]and fisher[D]men.

[Verse 5]
[Em]And so t[Bm]he world has c[C]hanged,
Worse [D]or better's hard to tell,
[Em]
But my [Bm]hope [C]remains
within the [D]arms of Isabel.
[G][C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Em][C][D]
[G]
[C]So now our

[Verse 6]
[G]
calloused hands once told
A story honest as it's old
of sowing [Em]seeds
[C]And set[D]ting sail.
[G][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]
But [C]now our [G]hands are soft and weak
And [C]working [G]seven days a week
At [C]these sal[Em]vation schemes that
[C]are bound [D]to [Em]fail.

[Verse 8]
And so [Bm]the world has [C]changed,
Worse [D]or better's hard to tell,
[Em]
But my [Bm]hope re[C]mains within
the [D]arms of [Am]Isabel.

[Verse 9]
And I'll [Am]admit that I am [G]scared
Of what [D]I d[Bm]on't u[Am]nderstand.
But darling, if you're [G]there,
Gentle [Bm]voice and soothing [Am]hands,
To quiet my despair,
[G]To [D]shore up [Bm]all my p[D]lans[Am],
[G]Darling, if you're there
[C]

[Verse 10]
And so the [Bm]world [D]has cha[C]nged,
And [D]I must change as w[Em]ell.
The ma[Bm]chines we've [C]made will
dam[D]n us into h[Em]ell.
And [Bm]the time will [C]come when
[D]all must save themselves.
[Em]I will[Bm] save my soul[C]
in the [D]arms of Isabel.
