        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.
