Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse melody

 Intro

Verse 1

 So now the years are rolling by

its not long since you and i

could have been train drivers or astronauts

and now we're stuck in furniushed ruts

and yeah the thing that really cuts

is we cant remember how we got caught

Verse 2

filtered air computer screens

muffled sighs and might have beens

count your blessings then breathe and count to ten

and though it doesnt often show

we are scared because we know

that our forefathers were farmers and fishermen

Chorus

and so the world has changed

 worse or better's hard to tell

but my hope remains

 within the arms of isabel

Verse 3

so now our calloused hands once told

a story honest as it’s old

of sowing seeds and setting sail

but now our hands are soft and weak

and working seven days a week

at the salvations schemes that are bound to fai

Chorus

and so the world has changed

 worse or better's hard to tell

but my hope remains

 within the arms of isabel

Middle 8

I'll admit that i am scared

of what i dont understand

darling if you're there

gentle voices soothing hands

to quiten my despair

to show off all my plans

darling if you're there

EXTENDED CHORUS

and so the world has changed

Dadd9* (slide Cadd9 up 2 frets)

and i must change as well

The machines we’ve made

 will damn us into hell

and the time will come

 when all must save themselves

and i will save my soul

 within the arms of isabel
