Misc Unsigned Bands – Anthony Savino - The Longest Line (Guitar)

Am
Broken bricks and brittle leaves 

F
beneath my feet: "I'll never leave," 

  G                Em
I used to say, now days are gray, 

  Am
I am compelled to move on. 

Am
Starry-eyed and wonder-weary, 

    F
I'd fear the coming years before 

     G                 Em
they all were crawling, falling into 

Am        Am7/G      Dm9
space and time before me. 

        F         G        C
Now the frost has come and gone 

        F        G        Am
but the night is long and drawn 

          Am7/G       Dm9                 F
out, I'll thaw out my heart within a song

       E                            Am  G  C    Am    F    G
We are hardly the ones to break the bars. 

Am
Minutes tick and windows moan 

   F
at home where those who keep doors closed 

   G            Em
to visitors are fitting words 

   Am
in boxes to be publicized. 

Am
Hollowed out and broken down by 

F
how we sound and now we drown on a 

G                 Em
too-glossed page. Walk away from 

Am                  Am7/G             Dm9
strangers, they are dangers yet to be named. 

          F            G        C
Bleed the cable at the signal's scream. 

       F       G        Am              Am7/G
We are all pulling away. I thought I was sharing a 

Dm9                         F
dream with someone down the street, but we all 

E                         Am  G  C    Am    F    G
seem to be in need of the same thing: 

Am
some semblance of identity, 

F                     G
something parallel to gravity 

     C                       Am
on a sphere. We are here for now, some looking 

F             G
out above the clouds, 

C                                   Am
but most of us are shedding our old skin in frozen time, 

F                       G                       C
recorded history, we're somewhere in the longest line. 

Am                     F       
The longest of longest lines

G             Am
The longest line
