Hi there, fellow Carbon Leaf fan. Make sure you feel the abrupt change between the
groovier first half of the song and the faster, less syncopated second half. And if at all
get some vocal harmonies for the "whittle away, whittle away" part. Enjoy!

Verse 1:
[D] [G] [D]
[G]I lit[D] a light on my gloom, and now there's only a half-moon
[D] [G] [D]
[G]I nee[D]d to find a way home, on the moon to be alone
[D]And so we make our way thr[G]ough the sand of a s[D]ullen day
Whittle a[G]way, whittle a[D]way
Dr[D]eaming in ether, leave atmosphere, br[G]eathing in Neptune's ch[D]andelier
Whittle a[G]way, whittle a[D]way
Chorus:
L[A]ift a[D]way and fl[A]oat it on [D]into space
[A]Into the sublime cel[D]estial brine? [G] [A]It's almost t[D]ime
Verse 2:
I made it up in my room, from a dream it is rough hewn
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
I make a vessel for home, carve it out with a gemstone
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
Land of sorrow, sift away through the sand of a sullen day
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
Dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere, breathing in Neptune's chandelier
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
Chorus
1st Verse & Chorus fast
Outro (still fast):
[D] [A] [C] [G]
It's al[D]most time to ride, align, melt these hemispheres into one
[A] [C]
[G]Dull and Shine intertwine, I'm torn away, I'm up and down, it's almost time
Now I am s[D]ailing, s[A]ailing
Through the l[C]ight and the gloom of the s[G]un and the moon
And I am s[D]ailing, s[A]ailing
Through the l[C]ight and the gloom of the s[G]un and the moon
H[D]ey, h[A]ey moon, I think I figured it o[C]ut, I think I'm coming ab[G]out
Now I am s[D]ailing, s[A]ailing through the l[C]ight and the gloom
My whole w[G]orld is in tune and so much cl[D]earer now...
