I lis ten to the (A)wind, to the (Bsus)wind (B)of my (E)soul.

I’ve (B)sat up on the (A)set (B)ting (E)sun;

but (A)nev er, nev er, nev er, (B)nev er,

I (B)nev er want ed (A)wa (B)ter (E)once,

I lis ten to my (A)words but they (Bsus)fall (B)far be (E)low.

I I’ll let my mus es (B)think take me where my heart wants to (E)go.

I’ve (B)swam up on the (A)dev (B)il’s (E)lake;

but (A)nev er, nev er, nev er, (B)nev er,

I’ll (B)nev er make the (A)same (B)mis (E)take,
