[Intro]
F Bb C 2x
[Bridge]
F Oh the lines of the cars Bb C At the college at night F All their pillows, their blankets Bb C Their posters and lights F All their hopelessly young faces Bb C F Tired with the solace of years
[Interlude]
Bb C
[Verse 1]
F And you look at me blankly Bb C Did I miss something? F All these kids seem to be Bb C Less like ghosts on the ring F Of the graveyard we've built Bb C F From the sting of these horrible fears
Bb C
[Bridge 1]
Dm Am C And I try not to laugh as it brings you to tears
[Verse 2]
F But I won't tell your secret Bb C If you won't tell mine F I'll just speak quietly Bb C As a well rehearsed line F Bb C F My, but how time makes one long for such ignorant peers
[Interlude]
Bb C
[Bridge 2]
Dm Am C And you grab hold of my hand as I whisper in your ear
[Verse 3]
F On the day that you die Bb C Please remember these words F You were the luckiest gift Bb C That I'll never deserve F I can feel you and me Bb Like my heart beat C F And blood stream in turns
[Interlude]
Bb C
[Verse 4]
F And it's desperate, I know Bb C But please don't let go F I can't begin to repay Bb C All these debts that I owe F I'm just a sketch of a man Bb C F I'll let you know when I sharpen the blurs
[Interlude]

F Bb C I have hurt you, deserted you, left you alone F With your loneliness to wear Bb C Like a crown on a throne F Bb C F I'm as selfish and trite as anything God's ever known
[Interlude]
Bb C
[Verse 6]
F Oh but don't be afraid Bb C 'Cause I'm going down too F When I finally fade Bb C I'll be fading with you F I'll just hold onto your hand Bb C F God, I wish there was more I could do
[Interlude]
Bb C
[Verse 7]
F And these kids have no clue Bb C It's all happening too F Let's not tell them Bb C Let's pretend it's just me and you F We'll find out soon enough Bb C Bb C F But by then we'll be dust on their shoes
[Interlude]
