          E                  F#
So move indoors, be happy to hide

G#m                    B
Avert your gaze as the cinemas die

            E                  F#
There is no shame in a smaller world

G#m                      B
Become an expert in what you observe

A     G#m                          F#
 What you observe, what you observe
[Chorus]
            B         C#m
As the late day peaks come and go

G#m                   F#            E
 Comes into view on a long-lost road

D#m                    E
 A single bird sings a sweet old song

C#m                    F#       E
 A fitting sound for a world so wrong
[Instrumental] | E | F# | G#m | B | [Verse 2]
         E                   F#
Deeper beneath ashes and the leaves

  G#m                         B
A young lonely poet will fall to his knees

           E                    F#
A learning curve, or impossible dream

G#m                         B
Or just some tired and tattered remains

A     G#m                          F#
 Tattered remains, tattered remains
[Chorus]
            B         C#m
As the late day peaks come and go

G#m                   F#            E
 Comes into view on a long-lost road

D#m                    E
 A single bird sings a sweet old song

C#m                    F#       E
 A fitting sound for a world so wrong

            B   C#m
In the late day peaks of life

G#m                      F#           E
 There's a moment that always survives

D#m                      E
 The ghosts in the rooms of your house

C#m                        F#          E
 Are the roots and keepers of your love
[Outro] | B | C#m | G#m | F# E | | D#m | E | C#m | F# E |
