[Verse] [C] I watch the ripples change [Em7] their size But never [F] leave the [G] stream of warm [F] impermanence And [C] so the days float through [Em7] my eyes But still the [F] days seem the same [G] And [Cmaj7] these children [Dm7] that [Em7] you spit [Ebm7] on As [Dm7] they try to change their [G] worlds Are immune [Cmaj7] to your consul [Dm7] tations [Em7][Ebm7] They're quite [Dm7] aware of what they're going through
