The Iris Of The World Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[F][Am]

[Verse 1]
[F]Crossed the border laughing
Never know what to expect
They [Am]wanted to know what
church I'm in
And what things I collect
They're [F]trying to plug holes

[Verse 2]
in the hull
While flames eat up the deck
The [Am]captain and his crew
Don't seem to get the
discon[Dm]nect[Am]
[G]Passing through

[Verse 3]
the iris of the [Am]world
[G]Passing through the iris of the [Am]world
[F]I will always

[Verse 4]
love you
On a boulder by the shoulder
The [Am]paint will likely outlive
Both the feeling and the holder
In [F]the age of global warming When all

[Verse 5]
[F]
things are growing colder
It's [Am]beautiful the writer
Opened up his heart and [G]told her

[Verse 6]
Passing through the iris of the [Am]world
[G]Passing through the iris
of the [Am]world

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am]

[Verse 7]
I'm [F]good at catching rainbows
Not so good at catching trout
I'm [Am]good at blowing holes
in things
And ranting in self doubt
I've [F]got a way

[Verse 8]
with time and [G]space
But [F]numbers freak me out
I've [Am]mostly dodged the dogmas
Of what life is all about
[G]Passing through the

[Verse 9]
iris of the [Am]world
I'm [G]passing through the iris of the [Am]world
I'm [F]talking in strange

[Verse 10]
voices
To myself the way I do
The [Am]road under the half moon sky
Rolls out in shades of blue
I'm [F]raw anticipation Of our

[Verse 11]
[F]
rhythmic rendezvous
[Am]Loving the gift of the loving I get

[Verse 12]
And the loving I give to you
[G]Passing through the iris of the [Am]world
[G]Passing through the iris of [Am]the world

[Outro 1]
[Am][F][Am]
