Intro: Dmaj7 Gmaj7 (x2)
Dmaj7 Gmaj7 this cocoon, caught in vesuvius' shadow Dmaj7 only the ashes remain Gmaj7 and i waited there for you Dmaj7 Gmaj7 why couldn't you? Dmaj7 Gmaj7 here we lie waiting for somethig to startle Dmaj7 to shake us from gravity's pull Gmaj7 and so sleeping hours are through Dmaj7 Gmaj7 what can we do? Bm Gmaj7 Em7 the sorry conclusion, the low dirty war, it happened before you came to Bm Gmaj7 but this is solution, and this is amends Em7 the joke always tends to come true C Am E but there on your windowsill over the unmoving platoon C Am E written in paperback, view to the quarterback's room G under waning moon D/F# Dm/F Em this quiet serves only to hide you Bm/F# Em provide you G Gm Dmaj7 Gmaj7 what I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Dmaj7 Gmaj7 take this palm, follow the lines here are written Dmaj7 and script out the rest of your life Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 and feel your fingers falling slack and all folding back Bm Gmaj7 Em7 the tainted election, the hole in the sky command what is tried, what is true Bm Gmaj7 but without solution, with feet on the ground Em7 it won't make a sound 'til you're through C Am E so loosen your shoulderblades this is your hour to make due C Am E because there on the timberline deep cold november shines through G soft and absolute D/F# Dm/F Em this quiet serves only to hide you Bm/F# Em provide in you G Gm Dmaj7 Gmaj7 what I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you
