C            G
I want to be grounded
Am           Em               F
Safe on the ground so I can't fall
           C                Dm        G
Lie in the grass after each Dionysian brawl
C            G
I want you to fight me
Am           Em
I want you to like me
F             C                Dm        G
I want you to set me up in the stars
F             G                Am
I want you to set me up in the stars
              G                   Am
Far from this earth, far from the hurt
              G                   Dm                    G
Far from the part where I have to fall back down to the earth.
        
[Chorus] 
C            G           Am
And won't you keep me company
         Em             F
Ask this lonely girl to tea
        C        Dm           G
See the enemy in me and smile anyway
C            G              Am        Em              F
Won't you teach me what you know and forgive me as I grow
   C                    Dm    G    C             G        Am      Em   
Even light speed can seem s-l-o-w, the endless day, the endless day.
F       C       Dm       G       


[Verse]
C            G
The clouds are a curtain
Am           Em               F
The clouds are for certain and they're here
                C                Dm        G
The clouds have arrived and they will never go away
C            G
The sun doesn't matter
Am           Em
The sun doesn't shatter
F             C                Dm        G
The sun just knows that it's a star
F             G                  Am
The sun is convinced that it's a star
                  G                      Am
So it watches the clouds, it watches the clouds
                 G               Dm                G
It sits back and watches and the clouds just drift away.
     
 
{Chorus] 
 C            G           Am
And won't you keep me company
         Em       F
Ask your enemy to tea
        C           Dm          G
See the criminal in me and stay anyway
C            G              Am        Em              F
Won't you teach me what you know and forgive me as I grow
   C                    Dm    G    C           G        Am      Em   
Even light speed can seem s-l-o-w, the endless day, the endless day.
F       C       Dm       G   


[Verse]  
C            G
I want to be grounded
Am           Em
But the earth isn't grounded
F                  C                Dm            G
It has no grass to fall to when it's having a bad day
C            G             Am           Em
But something protects it, and something connects it
F         C                Dm            G
Something holds it while it whirls
F             G                     Am
Something allows it to whirl like a dervish,
                  G                       Am
I think that it's love, It's some kind of love
                  G                 Dm                G
It's some kind of whirling dervish Galilean love

         C            G           Am
[Chorus] And won't you keep me company
         Em       F
Ask this lonely girl to tea
        C           Dm          G
See the enemy in me and stay anyway
C            G              Am        Em              F
Won't you teach me what you know and forgive me as I grow
   C                    Dm    G    C           G                Am
Even light speed can seem s-l-o-w, the endless day, the endless day.
Em         F         C                Dm            G
The Endless Day, The Endless Day
