Tom : A
[Primeira Parte]
D7M E6 A D7M
Sadness always finds an in
B7(2) E6
Sneaks its way past
A D7M
And infecting everything
B7(2) E6 A D7M
And every chapter has an end
B7(2) E6
But this is one momentous
A D7M
Sequel don’t you think?
[Pré-Refrão]
D7M E6
And the blackbirds they fly
A D7M
Like a frown on the skyline
[Refrão]
D A E4
Right now I feel I’m running
D
From the light
A E4
Engulfed in darkness
D
Shielded from my eyes
A E4
One foot in, one out
I’m stuck on the borderline
[Próxima Parte]
D A E4
Which way will I?
[Segunda Parte]
D7M E6
Guess I should take
A D7M
This on the chin
B7(2) E6
But I don’t even know
A D7M
How all of this began
B7(2) E6 A D7M
We are made to mould and bend
B7(2) E6
How can I wish for nothing
A D7M
When it’s still a sin?
[Refrão]
[Próxima Parte]
D A E4
Which way will I?
[Ponte]
Bm A E4
Tears never arrive
These ducts are dry
Bm A E4
We are so blind
F#m E4 D
Waiting on the borderline
F#m E4 D
Waiting on the borderline
[Terceira Parte]
D7M E6 A D7M
So I will pour another drink
B7(2) E6
And try to drown the pain
A D7M
With salt along the rim
B7(2)
And I’ll shut
E6 A D7M
Off the things I think
B7(2) E6
‘Coz nothing good will
A D7M
Ever come from worrying
[Refrão]
[Próxima Parte]
D A E4
Which way will I?
Bm A E4
Tears never arrive
These ducts are dry
Bm A E4
We are so blind
