Overture Tabulatur von Sleeping At Last

Tuning: G C E A

     B
It starts 
              C#m7   G#m7
With our eyes well acquainted 
          B
With the darkness
             C#m7       G#m7           B
The mind was made to illuminate the heart
            C#m7       G#m7
And when every constellation
Eadd9          B
Suddenly appeared
              C#m7           G#m7
Through telescopes and calculations
    Eadd9               B
The far was pulled so near
 
 
C#m7        G#m7               C#m7
Even after everything we’ve seen
                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul
               F#                  B
The universe began with our eyes closed
 
 
B
We claim our land
C#m7         G#m7     B
We tame our seas
 
We carve our names
C#m7             G#m7       B
On the surface of history
 
Til our hands get tied
C#m7             G#m7
By the stubborn will
 
Of gravity
 
 
C#m7        G#m7               C#m7
Even after everything we’ve seen
                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul
               F#                  B
The universe began with our eyes closed
 
 
B
In the rise and fall
C#m7            G#m7     B
Of a newborn’s chest
 
Like the ocean swells
C#m7          G#m7         B
We inhale, exhale and reset
 
Every living thing
C#m7         G#m7                   C#m7
Is in this constant state of unrest
 
 
           G#m7            C#m7
Even after all our history
                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul
               F#
The universe began 
 
 
C#m7        G#m7               C#m7
Even after everything we’ve seen
                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul
               F#                  B
The universe began with our eyes closed
