        D (xx0232@1)             F#mDid (244222@1)you expect it all to stop
        G (320003@1)          Aat (x02220@1)the wave of your hand?
          D (xx0232@1)            F#mLike (244222@1)the suns just gonna drop
          G (320003@1)       Aif (x02220@1)it's night you demand.
       D (xx0232@1)                 F#mWell, (244222@1)in the dark were just air  
      G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)   
so the house might dissolve.
           D (xx0232@1)                F#m (244222@1)          
once were gone, whos is gonna care
            G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)  
if we were ever here at all?
G (320003@1)
Well, summers gonna come
             A (x02220@1)             F#mit's (244222@1)gonna cloud our eyes again.

no need to focus
            G (320003@1)                Awhen (x02220@1)theres nothing thats worth seeing.
       D (xx0232@1)                 F#mSo (244222@1)we trade liquor for blood
      G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)
in an attempt to tip the scales.
           D (xx0232@1)             F#mI (244222@1)think you lost what you loved
         G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1) 
in that mess of details. 
                D (xx0232@1)      
They seemed so important at the time
            G (320003@1)    
but now you can't even recall
      Dany (xx0232@1)names, faces, or lines.
          G (320003@1)              D2(5577)
Its more the feeling of it all.
G (320003@1)        
Well, winter is going to end and
          A (x02220@1)                  F#m (244222@1)    
I'm gonna clean these veins again.
                          GSo (320003@1)close to dying that I finally can
        Astart (x02220@1)living.
