Music & Lyrics: Matthew Caws - Ira Elliot - Douglas Gillard - Louie Lino - Daniel Lorca Album: Never Not Together (2020) [Intro] |C#m |E |B |F# | x2 [Verse 1]
C#m                         E                      B
 I was away, I don't know where, it was a daily state

                   F#
I drew a map, but it expired

C#m                         E                B
 I'd find a car with open doors and take a ride

                      F#
I took a nap, there was no driver

C#m                             E                        B
 I'd find a thing that I could take that would do the trick

                  F#
After a while, I got no higher
[Chorus]
E             B
Ride in the unknown

    C#m             G#m
Survive and never grow

  E       B
Sliding alone

  C#m          F#   F#
Why is never known
[Instrumental] |C#m |E |B |F# | [Verse 2]
C#m                    E                 B
 There is no getting away in a haunted house

                  F#
When every window is a mirror

C#m                         E              B
 Can't recognize the people who I used to be

                     F#
Alone at night in my private theater

C#m                        E               B
 But we all play a little bit with mythology

                     F#
I don't know if it makes things clearer
[Chorus]
E             B
Hiding from myself

  C#m            G#m
Alone, no one to tell

      E           B
Pay rent to have this shell

      C#m         F#      F#
Pay rent to have this cell
[Instrumental] |E |B |F# |F# | x2 [Bridge]
E                  B   F#
 In the blue moon, I

        F#                E
Could sing the blues to sleep

                 B   F#
While they were out

     F#
I'd have a good week
[Chorus]
E             B
Ride in the unknown

    C#m             G#m
Survive and never grow

  E       B
Sliding alone

  C#m          F#
Why is never known
[Bridge]
          E             B
I never knew (I never knew)

          C#m                 G#m
I never knew who I wanted to be (Who I wanted to be)

          E             B
I never knew (I never knew)

          C#m                 F#
I never knew who I wanted to be (Who I wanted to be)

          E
I never knew

                               B
The good and the bad news will still be there

          C#m               G#m
But don't think about that now (I never knew)

E                 B
Lift your anchor, set your sail (I never knew)

C#m                           F#
Now the lights are all turned out (I never knew)

E                   B
Find your peace and find some sleep (I never knew)

C#m              G#m
I'll be your lookout

     E                       B
When it's my turn, you'll be that for me (I never knew)

           C#m            F#
And you'll quiet all my doubt
[Chorus]
E             B
Ride in the unknown (The good and the bad news will still be there)

    C#m             G#m
Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now)

  E       B
Sliding alone (Lift your anchor, set your sail)

C#m            F#
Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)
[Chorus]
E             B
Ride in the unknown (Find your peace and find some sleep)

    C#m             G#m
Survive and never grow (I'll be your lookout)

  E       B
Sliding alone (When it's my turn, you'll be that for me)

C#m            F#
Why is never known (And you'll quiet all my doubt)
[Outro]
E             B
Ride in the unknown (The good and the bad news will still be there)

    C#m             G#m
Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now)

  E       B
Sliding alone (Lift your anchor, set your sail)

C#m            F#
Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)
