Intro:
G Em C G

(still G)          G        Em
I'm running out of miracles
       C    G
Oh my soul
                                G             Em
And the streets are lined with one-man shows
        C    G
Oh my soul
                  G           Em
Corner boys were moved along
       C    G
Oh my soul
                       G              Em
We're plummeting like crippled crows
        C    G
Oh my soul
 

G          Em
Oh, long before
 C              G
You and I were born
 G                                    Em
Others beat these benches with their empty cups
        C                          G
To the night and the stars, to be here, and now, and who we are
 

C                       G
 Another sunrise with my sad captains
      C                        G
With whom I choose to lose my mind
     C                             G
And if it's all we only pass this way but once
        C                G
What a perfect waste of time
 

          G         Em
The BMX apothecary
       C    G
Oh my soul
                 G      Em
The architect of infamy
       C    G
Oh my soul
                   G               Em
For each and every train we missed
       C    G
Oh my soul
                G         Em
A bitter little Eucharist



G          Em
Oh, long before
 C              G
You and I were born
 G                                    Em

        C                          G

C                       G
 Another sunrise with my sad captains
      C                        G
With whom I choose to lose my mind
     C                             G
And if it's all we only pass this way but once
        C                G
What a perfect waste of time


C                       G
 Another sunrise with my sad captains
      C                        G

     C                             G
And if it's all we only pass this way but once
        C                G    C G
What a perfect waste of time
        C                G    C
What a perfect waste of time
