[intro]
Em Am Cmaj7 x2
[verse 1]
Em Am with each stroke of my pen i connect Cmaj7 reflect on what was learned, what was gained, what was left Em of the shards of a lifetime Am Cmaj7 capsized i was broken into fragments, scoured the cabinets Em Am Cmaj7 for the bottles that were hidden, were there messages you'd given me?
i'm your one and only legacy
Em Am it's been six years since we last met Cmaj7 i no longer dream of you, the visions gone from my head Em Am once found in those brutally surreal scenes Cmaj7 where your spirit lingers, i'm incapable of seeing Em Am furthermore i'm fairly doubtful that you are little more than dust Cmaj7 atoms now recycled in god i cannot trust, yet i must Em where is your faith when you need it? Am Cmaj7 tell me, where is christ when you do not believe in angels or in demons? Em Am Cmaj7 emaciated figure, my father his body ravaged but still we managed Em to make it many years before the liquor pulled the trigger Am Cmaj7 i'm stranded i haven't forgotten how i thought that i would cope once i was bigger Em Am my feet's my only carriage but i stumble as i tread Cmaj7 Em pages written in a book that you and i once read, they said
[chorus]
Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon i will be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon i will be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon i will be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon i will be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon i will be gone
carry on carry on
[verse 2]
Em Am it's difficult to say exactly what i feel Cmaj7 lost in some translation and there's scratches on the reel Em Am Cmaj7 of a black and white, a silent movie usually i'm the one to say the soundtracks flawed
but in this case the melancholy draws me to the
Em background of the photograph Am Cmaj7 i hope it lasts this feeling that you're watching from above Em that you know i dedicate the music to your love Am Cmaj7 guitar resonates with your doomed fate while i strum i contemplate Em i was brought up amidst the vodka Am Cmaj7 Em it poisoned you and i was forced to watch my father slowly die over a toilet filled with puke Am always afraid i'd wake up to your corpse Cmaj7 as a scared kid tried to keep my eyes from the floor Em Am don't look down, in fact shut your eyelids entirely Cmaj7 the knowledge that you'll never get to know me's got me crying Em Am death signifies the loss of a fragile life Cmaj7 Em for every moment that you miss, i send to what i hope is heaven your daughters kiss Am Cmaj7 we cant speak, pray to no one in particular my wish will one day meet your cheek Em Am hold my head up high but i stumble as i tread Cmaj7 Em Pages written in a book that you and i once read, they said
[chorus]
Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon you will be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon you will be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon you will be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon you will be gone
carry on carry on
[verse 3]
Em Am Cmaj7 channeling the memories that i wrote down in a notebook that i kept after your death Em Am Cmaj7 bereft, frightened that in a short time i would lose sight of the subtleties of our relationship
all the reminders
Em Am the way your leather jacket smelled of cigarettes and booze Cmaj7 inhale the fragrance of an addict i was bound to lose Em Am i'm still your child Cmaj7 i'm still your child
you are my teacher
Em Am Cmaj7 i learned how to be the person that you couldn't even though i care for you Em i'm wary i will replicate the mistakes you made in youth Am that carried on, imprinted in my mind Cmaj7 Em i am playing your guitar, do the chords transcend time and space? Am Cmaj7 wasted potential i know it wasn't meant to end like this, with you lifeless Em Am Cmaj7 in an urn full of ashes, gashes that are reopened every time a word is spoken Em Am Cmaj7 for you live and breathe within the parts of me deep down that are forever broken Em Am father, rest in peace but i stumble as i tread Cmaj7 Em pages written in a book that you and i once read, they said
[chorus]
Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon we'll all be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon we'll all be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon we'll all be gone Em carry on carry on Am Cmaj7 not yet but soon we'll all be gone Em carry on carry on
[outro]
Am Cmaj7 go forth and so on and so forth Em go forth and so on and so forth Am Cmaj7 go forth and so on and so forth
still i miss you
Am Cmaj7 go forth and so on and so forth Em go forth and so on and so forth Am Cmaj7 go forth and so on and so forth
Em
