[Intro]
A Faug Dmaj7 Dm6
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m
Sure it's a calming notion
perpetual in motion
Bm F#m
But I don't need the comfort of any lies
Bm F#m A Faug
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending rise
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m
Oh
back when I was younger
was told by other youngsters
Bm F#m
That my end will be torture beneath the earth
Bm F#m
‘Cause I don't see what they see when death is staring at me
Bm6 Bm7 Bm Bmadd9 Faug
I see a window
a limit
[Interlude]
Dmaj7 Fmaj7 Amaj7 F#m7 Bm7 C#m7 Dmaj7 Fmaj7
[Verse 3]
Bm F#m
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever
Bm F#m
Would your life even matter anymore?
Bm F#m
Sure it's a calming notion
perpetual in motion
A Faug
But it's not what you signed up for
A Faug Dmaj7 Faug (x2)
A Faug Dmaj7 Faug
I'm sure there won't always be sun - shine
A Faug Dmaj7 Faug
But there's this momentary beam of light
A Faug
You don't have to wait those salty decades
Dmaj7 Faug
To get through the gate
it's all in front of your face
A Faug Dmaj7 Faug
I'm sure there won't always be sun - shine
A Faug Dmaj7 Dm
I'm sure there won't always be sun - shine
A Faug Dmaj7 Dm
But there's this momentary beam of light
[Chorus 3]
A Bm
I could could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion
A Bm
For every shining second this fragile body beckons
A Bm
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters
A Bm
