F#m               A     D            Bm
This is where the light starts to go backwards
F#m           E               C#m     D
It fades in a shimmer off that western rim
F#m          A             D                         Bm       
The path of ice that forms from this spot stretchin' southward
F#m          E               C#m     D
It's rumored here it got the best of him 
       E                              D
To the roof of the sky  what does she hold 
        E                        D      Bm
In your room made of wind and of snow 
                 D                       A    Bm  D  A  Bm  D
Believe God only knows what's down  here below 
F#m               A          D                 Bm
Others with their crude maps and equally crude instruments 
F#m              E                 C#m          D        
Sounding out the heights and found another secret
F#m             A              D         Bm
Experience has led you to this dreamless sleep
F#m            E                   C#m     D
And all that's left you is another hundred feet
       E                              D
To the roof of the sky  what does she hold 
        E                        D      Bm
In your room made of wind and of snow 
                 D                       A    Bm  D  A  Bm  D
Believe God only knows what's down  here below 
F#m               A               D            Bm
This is where the light starts to hesitate and flicker
F#m        E               C#m       D          
And colors bleed from once favorable skies
F#m                A          D            Bm
This is where your party lost all its last contact
F#m          E          C#m    D
A step below your point in the sky
       E                              D
To the roof of the sky  what does she hold 
        E                        D      Bm
In your room made of wind and of snow 
                 D                       A    Bm  D  A  Bm  D
Believe God only knows what's down  here below
