The Universe Is Laughing Tab par The Guggenheim Grotto

October throws herself before my feet
         G               C
And the sky goes powder blue
   F          C        G
Holding her breath for me
                  C            F
I never thought myself a city shoe
          G             C
But it's made of gold today
         F        C        G
And it breaks my heart in two

         Am            Em
'Cause I want to hold onto it
            F          C
But there's nothing to hold
        Am           Em
And the universe is laughing
       F                           G
'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold

                          C            F
We were listening to this city hum and hush
      G              C
Lying perfect in the dark
           F        C        G
I felt you tremble 'neath my touch
                        C                F
Why's it everything we love we can't explain?
            G                 C
Like if the world should disappear
      F    C       G
Only music will remain

         Am            Em
And I want to hold onto it
            F          C
But there's nothing to hold
        Am           Em
And the universe is laughing
       F                           G
'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold

[slow] Am           Em
And I want to hold onto it

And the galaxies the galaxies are howling
    F                                 C
The sun and moon are tickled pink and gold
    Am                      Em
The whole damn universe is laughing
    F                           G            C
And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
