Tom: G
G
Every day at sunrise, I’ve got to
Em
Empty my pockets, I’ve got four
D
cups of coffee
C
and these empty sockets
G
and the dreams I held so tender loom
Em
In the air around my bedroom
D
I think about the rising sun
C
And the day to come and I wonder
G Em
Where you went, where you went
D
Are you wide awake?
C
Did you read all the letters that I sent?
G
Are you fast asleep?
Em D C
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?
[Chorus]
G Em
Till all the walls fall we’ll just keep being strangers
D
As the world rearranges
C
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green
G
And the sunrise is a welcome thing
Em
But I wish it was more welcoming
D
‘Cause this life has such an awful sting
C G Em D C
And a price to pay for everything
G Em
And every day they say, just get away
D
They say just, get back up
C G
They say just, stand tough you’ve got to keep it up
Em
You’ve got to learn to play rough
D
You’ve got to run through a field on a sunlit day
C
Laugh it off then sleep at night
G Em
But I don’t care, I just don’t care
D C
‘Cause if you’re not here there’s no one to laugh at the jokes we share
G
Are you fast asleep?
Em D C
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?
G Em
Till all the walls fall we’ll just keep being strangers
D
As the world rearranges
C
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green
G
And the sunrise is a welcome thing
Em
But I wish it was more welcoming
D
‘Cause this life has such an awful sting
C G Em D C
And a price to pay for everything
[Bridge]
Em C
I saw you last night in the cell where I sleep
G D
And your shyness was such a surprise
Em C
And you said, I hold you in me like a secret I keep
G D Em
And the truth of that moment defies all that we know...
C
Oh Oh Oh Oh...
G
Oh Oh Oh Oh...
D
Oh Oh Oh Oh...
Em
Where we go...
C
Oh Oh Oh Oh...
G
Oh Oh Oh Oh...
D D
Oh Oh Oh Oh...
G
So I think till all the walls fall
Em
I’ll just keep getting stranger
D
The world will rearrange her
C
Into something just as beautiful
G
I know that I won’t know you then
Em
But I see no reason to pretend
D
‘Cause I love you now and I’ll love you then
C G Em
And the sun will shine on everything
D C
Oh whoa oh
G
till all the walls fall
Em
We'll just keep bein' strangers
D
The world will rearrange us
C
Into things we never planned to be
G
As the sun rises around us
Em
And continues to confound us
D
Its beauty will surround us
C G Em
And share its life with everything
D C G
And oh... oh oh oh...
