Did you expect it all to stop
     F5            G5
at the wave of your hand?


       C5                    E5
Like the sun is just going to drop
      F5         G5
if it?s night you demand.


       C5                    E5
Well, in the dark we are just air
      F5         G5     
so the house might dissolve.
       C5                    E5              
But once we are gone, who is gonna care
            F5          G5     
if we were ever here at all?


F5            
Well, summer is going to come
             G5                     E5
and it?s gonna cloud our eyes again.
             
There is not need to focus
            F5                     G5
when there is nothing that it worth seeing.


       C5                    E5  
So we trade liquor for blood
      F5         G5    
in an attempt to tip the scales.
       C5                    E5
I think you lost what you loved
      F5         G5  
in that mess of details.


       C5                    E5  
They seemed so important at the time
      F5         G5      
but now you can?t even recall
       C5                    E5    
any of the names, faces, or lines.
      F5         G5
It is more the feeling of it all.


F5               
Well, winter is going to end and
             G5                     E5         
I?m going to clean these veins again.
                               F5
So close to dying that I finally can
      G5 
start living.
