Intro -  E5 , C5 , E5 

E5                    C5
All the things that I needed
E5
Wasted my chances
E5                  C5    E5
I have found myself wanting
E5                C5    E5         E5
When a mother and father gave me their problems
      C5              E5
I accepted them all
E5             C5
Nothing ever expected
E5      E5
I was rejected
                    C5           E5
But I came back for more  

Chorus
C5                  B5
And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky  
        A5                             B5
Where a boy rides on a bike and never smiles  
C5                    B5
And my ashes fall on all the things we said  
     A5                            G5 , E5 , B5 , G5 , E5 , B5

On a box of photographs under the bed  
 
I will stay in my own world
Under the covers  
I will feel save inside
 
A kiss that will burn me  
Cure me of dreaming  
I was always returning  
 
And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
And return to save the child that I forgot
And my ashes fade among the things unseen  
And the dream plays in reverse on piano-keys
 
And my ashes drown upon a (           )    
Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails  
And distant sails
