Lyrics

I close

my

eyes

on ly for a mo ment, and the mo ment’s gone.

All

(A5)my

(F#m7)dreams

(A5)pass be fore my eyes, a cu ri os i ty.

Dust in the (F#m)wind,

(B)all we are is (E)dust in the wind.

Same

old (F#m)song;

(E)just a drop of wa ter in the end less sea.

(A)All

(E)we

(F#m)do

(E)crum bles to the (Bm7)ground, though we re fuse to see.

Dust in the (F#m)wind,

(B)all we are is (E)dust in the (F#m)wind.

Oh,

oh.

Ooh,

dust in the (D)wind.

(A5)Don’t

hang

on;

noth ing last for ev er but the earth and sky.

It slips

a way,

and (A5)all your mon ey won’t an oth er (F#m)min ute buy.

Dust in the (F#m)wind,

(B)all we are is (E)dust in the wind.

Dust in the wind,

(B)ev ’ry thing is (E)dust in the wind.

(F#m)Ev ’ry thing is (F#sus2)dust in the wind.
