D Gmaj13 Gmaj13 D(9)
During the time of which I speak, it was hard to turn the other cheek
Gmaj13 Gmaj13 Asus A7
To the blows of insecurity
D Gmaj13 D(9) D
Feeding the cancer of my intellect, the blood of love, soon neglected
D(9) G Asus A7
Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
G G E7/G# E7/G#
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together, they've all
Asus A7 G G
Gone and left each other in search of fairer weather
D G
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
A7sus A7 D A7/D (D) A7/D Em D A7/D D A7
To the slim chance of love's recovery
There I am in younger days, stargazing, painting picture perfect maps
Of how my life and love should be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection, my compass, faith in
love's perfection
I missed ten million miles of road I should've seen
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
A7sus A7 D A7/D (D) A7/D Em
To the slim chance of love's recovery
A - Asus A - Asus C(9) C(9)
Rain soaked and voice choked like silent screaming in a dream
D D Bm/D E7
I search for our absolute distinction
A - Asus A - Asus C(9) C(9)
Not content to bow and bend to the whims of culture that swoop like vultures)
D D D D
Eating us away, eating us away
G G Asus A Asus A
Eating us away to our extinction
Oh how I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me
I'd still have two of the same to live
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal; as specks of dust, we're universal
To let this love survive would be the greatest gift that we could give
Tell all the friends who think they're do together
That these are ghosts and mirages, all these thoughts of fairer weather
Though it's storming out, I feel safe within the

arms of love's dicovery
