a burn in my chest, the end in my sight adding fuel to a fire I never could ignite you brought the can you spilled the gas i brought the book i struck the match we threw it down we watched the ground around us catching fire it got so hot we felt like dying we stood still til the sparks quit flying you could call it hard but you'd be preaching to the pyre smoke in my lungs, ash in my eye a billowing ache, a bellowing cry

you’re in a hurry to heal but you can't move too fast this ambulance is screaming but it's running out of gas and the feeling's you feel they're hard like a cast don't try to make haste give it time, give it space this too shall pass let it pass, let it pass, let it pass, it shall pass you’re in a genesis it's your lot in life just stay on track don't ever look back don't end up like lot's wife you wanna throw a fit but you gotta show some class quit making plans cause it's out of your hands this too shall pass sadness takes over i miss this so much heartache squeezes my heart's brakes i can't take this, i've had enough crying i'm trying not to but you caught me in the act i spun this wheel far as it will feel i need anger to distract i clench my fists cause i'm fucking pissed that i died before my life was through i wonder if loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do anger takes over the past just sweats from my pores that wandering eye left me wondering why i can't take the fury anymore fuming the fire looming how it burns, the color of rust i spun this wheel far as it will feel i find photographs to settle the dust i'll calm stormy seas with good memories be grateful that our love was something true fight the urge to believe loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do and i hold my ground cause being lost and found at the same time, for me is nothing new still i wonder if loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do it can not be the last good thing that i will ever do it will not be the last good thing that i will ever do i find myself crossing a pair of my fingers could it be a wish or a lie is it oncoming peace or despair that lingers in each breath of a chest-heaving sigh the tremors that shake me after the quake break me down cause they all signify that last little shift in a continent drift the moment the end just passes you by why does the whiplash hurt more than the impact? the ache in your head makes you realize the glass cracked life flashed through your eyes, but you're alive, still if the crash doesn't get you the whiplash will the sight of your nose throws me back in my chair i only knew noses could smell jumped geronimo style from way up in the air it might have been brave, but i'm still scared as hell the parachute pull has rattled my skull i fumble for ways to propel will gravity greet the ground with my feet it usually does, but you never can tell Verse: A C#m Bm F#m E Chorus: F#m E A F#m E A the battery died, that's all but I leave it on the wall cause her hands are too beautiful to burn still I can not unwind a clock that will not tell time cause its gears refuse to move and turn and i don't know what to do with how much i miss you i don't know where to put that ache so i pray for the clock to tick tick tock and i wait, and i wait, and i wait the shock clocked me in the head made me wish i were dead no not dead, just nothing and nothing more they're trying to call the fight i'm trying to act alright but I see stars and i'm drooling on the floor and i see her in my corner thinking, God I tried to warn her i see her faith in me start to die So i crawl on my knees beg please please please let me try, i will try, let me try Verse: Cm G# D# A#
Chorus: D# G# // Cm A# G# G#m D# G# D# (A#) darling love was never the question i have more than enough and so do you darling love is the only answer when people ask us how can you tolerate hanging around this pain don't you hate when the wind blows i will wait with you and catch the rain hold out our hands and see what else can grow darling leaving is out of the question i'll do my grieving right here with you let them whisper let them have their opinion just let em talk when they ask us how can you may let go of june there was no other way for her to bloom it was no easy thing; it took all of spring she didn't leave her behind she just gave her some room may let go of june june turned to july she said does saying hello mean saying goodbye? cause retrospect is gonna break my neck but the future is bright and I know why june turned to july may, june and july felt a gust of wind fall flew by; offered a hand to lend you know if time stood still, nothing would heal seasons would stall; wounds wouldn't mend may will come around again Various Voicings of Bm A G
we built a freight train, it carried cargo we set the train out to sea if it would float we had a false hope we had so far to go if only trains had buoys we should have built a boat, we should have let it sail instead we built a train and let the train derail we built a strong ship upon a railroad sang sailor songs and dreamed of moving in one lane we had a true love, we called it music the anchor dropped, there was no steam we should have built a train, we had a thousand tries instead we built a boat and let the boat capsize i'll dock my boat out in calmer waters close enough to see land and i'll look for you your locomotive will pass along the harbor just close enough to squeeze my hand as you fly through i'm going to build a boat, i'm going to hoist the mast you're going to build a train, you're going to hear my name a voice from the past we're going to learn and grow, we're going to have some fun go our separate ways and maybe meet some day out by the setting sun done all that i could do darlin' so did you dying dead and done but only just begun time's the only thing that grows old and doesn't die i will grieve this sad reprieve as i say goodbye love's the only thing in me that heaves a heavy sigh love lifts my hand to you and waves hello to the new you and i i'll love you in a lyric you'll sing to me, and i'll hear it our kisses will be harmony we will always be a we Verse: Bb Gm Cm F Chorus: Bb Gm Cm F Bridge: Cm Bb Gm F i look good in a photo album from the past i look pretty in your memories cause my colors don't fade fast when you turn your head and look behind i look like an accomplishment that was worth your time but how do you like me now? if there was no soon or then how do i look in this moment that we're standing in? i need to feel the presence of your love somehow cause that's all we have my dear how do you like me now? i look good in a to-do list cause i'm organized i look pretty in your hopes and dreams, silver hair and family ties when you fix your gaze on down the line i look like an accomplishment, well worth your time the love that you have memorized is looking you straight in the eyes the love that you look forward to is standing right in front of you |
