dEUS – 1989 (Guitar)

            G                   A
Oh, back in 1989, you must have been there at the time

            Bm                   Bm
To feel the weightlessness of old

        G                           A
Failing history in class, you could smile at that, I guess

                F#m          F#m
If you think it happened

           G                                  A
Some still have a piece of wall, or aimed too high before the fall

       Bm                   Bm
Others simply failed to show

              G               A
'Cause it was 1989, if it was any other time

    F#m         F#m
I'd know

         Gmaj7
Touch my skin

       Em
Where you been?

     Bm        Bm
Say I'm in

                    D              A  E  E
It feels like it is just a simple halo

                 G                     A
I know it should take a little less to find a little rest

         Bm                    Bm
From the moon and from the tide

            G                  A
But back in 1989, I fought the battles that were mine

             F#m        F#m
I think they happened

       G                             A
'Cause I was first and I was last to read too much into the past

        Bm                      Bm
Through ashes and through embers

           G                                  A
Was it now in the snow or early spring, did I break a thumb or another limb?

        F#m          F#m
I don't remember

         Gmaj7
Touch my skin

       Em
Where you been?

     Bm        Bm
Say I'm in

                    D              A  E  E
It feels like it is just a simple halo

                     Em
We'd go to where the sailors go

   A               Bm      Bm
Salute the unmoored

                     Dmaj7
We'd be the ones who say goodbye

       C#                 C#
That's what we're here for

        Em                         Em/G
All the azaleas in their prime, an imaginary shrine

         Bm                   Bm
They are frozen in their bloom

               F#m            F#m
'Cause back in 1989 is when I learned to look behind

             E        E
Like nothing happened

            G                               A
You know it always comes too soon, not even halfway to the moon

         Bm                  Bm
You burn excuses on your lips

             G                               A
Yeah, it was such a marble time, the year of 1989

              F#m               F#m
You know, the time that I can't put behind

       Gmaj7
Let it spin

        Em
Lose or win (the time that I can't leave behind)

     Bm        Bm
Next of kin

                      D              A   A   A
It feels like this is just a simple halo

                     Em
We'd go to where you want to go

    A          Bm    Bm
And hurry no morre

                     Dmaj7
We'd be the ones who say goodbye

       C#                 C#
That's what we're here for
