Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes

G
Looking for a part of me that's still alive

        G                           C
Waiting for my chest to fall 'n rii-ise
[Verse 2]
G
Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in

G
Summer turns to autumn winter turns to spring

        G                       C
And it all flies by like a speeding train
[Chorus]
     Em                   G
Dead wishes on a broken chain

       Bm                     D
White roses in a dead man's dream

  Em                       A
Down and out with everything to lose

          C
If these long dead wishes

         G
Never do come true
[Verse 3]
G
Waiting for the night to come and chase away

G
All the flies hovering around my head

         G          
With my memories for a pillow

              C
And all my regrets for a bed
[Verse 4]
G
Standing on the corner now I'm passed surprise

G
Yelling out a warning to some passer by

        G
I stand just as god made me

       C
And I lie down in disguise
[Chorus]
     Em                   G 
Dead wishes on a burning lake

      Bm                    D
White roses for my soul to keep

  Em                           A 
Diving down with everything to win

      C
If my long since sunken ship

               G
Ever does come in
[Break]
G
Down and down we all fall down
And that's how ancient mountains crumble [Bridge]
C                    Cm
   Time keeps moving slower

             G
Like falling from the sun

C                    Cm
   Come and knock me over

               G
I keep getting up

C                Cm
   Throw a line down to me

             Em   D   C   G/B
Keep hanging oo-----------on

A#  A
Yea---h
[Verse 5]
G
Standing on the corner, don't apologize

G
You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes

       C
Or pretend that you don't see me
[Chorus]
        Em                G
Dead wishes on a broken chain

       Bm                     D
White roses in a dead man's dream

  Em                         A
Down and out with everything to lose

         C
If these long dead wishes

      C
These long dead wishes

       G
Ever do come true
[Outro]
G
Down and down we all fall down
And that's how ancient mountains crumble
G
Down and down we all fall down
And that's how ancient mountains crumble
