D Dmaj7 G A
D Dmaj7
Did you expect it all to stop
G A
At the wave of your hand?
D Dmaj7
Like the sun is just going to drop
G A
If it’s night you demand.
D Dmaj7
Well, in the dark we are just air
G A
So the house might dissolve.
D Dmaj7
But once we are gone, who is gonna care
G A
If we were ever here at all?
G
Well, summer is going to come
A Dmaj7
And it’s gonna cloud our eyes again.
There is not need to focus
G A
When there is nothing that it worth seeing.
D Dmaj7
So we trade liquor for blood
G A
In an attempt to tip the scales.
D Dmaj7
I think you lost what you loved
G A
In that mess of details.
D Dmaj7
They seemed so important at the time
G A
But now you can’t even recall
D Dmaj7
Any of the names, faces, or lines.
G A
It is more the feeling of it all.
G
Well, winter is going to end and
A
I’m going to clean these veins again.
Dmaj7 G
So close to dying that I finally can
A
Start living.
D Dmaj7 G A
