____________________C
Just words on the ether
--Am ----------------- C
A trail, strung out in space
----------Dm----
We never learned
--------C------------Am6-----------F6-G7
Flesh grew on their bones while we slept
-----------C -------------Am
Bluebird singing sweetly, still
-------C-------------Dm
For a mate who won't return
---C ---------F#dim7------F6-G7
An ending the heart won't accept
------------------Am --------------Em
As we measure the distance from the sun
-------------F6-----
Back to the moon in a flash
-----------------Am---------------Em
We misread their meaning and it's done
----------F6--
Ended too soon
------------------G6
It's crashed, it's broken down
Cmaj7-F#dim7
Hey, little bird
F------------------------Am6
What's the word? What's wrong?
Cmaj7-----------F#dim7
Goodnight, Yeah, good afternoon
F ------------------------- C -----------
Miss your wish, I miss your song
C -----------F#dim7
No snowdrop asterisk
F -------------------D7
Your little glyph is gone
------C-----------F#dim7
You've flown, left us all alone
F ----------------C-------
With everyone, so long
Cmaj7----------------------F#dim7 ---
All the early hours and the afternoons
F-------------------Am6--------
Trapped in time and space
-------Cmaj7---------F#dim7 ------------
On the avenue and in crowded rooms
F --------------C --------------
I never find my proper place
C---------------------
Makes me wanna get high
-----D7-------------------
Fly, forget about the world
F----------------------D7
Gonna get over you somehow
--------------C ---------------- D7 --------
And though it hurts to start and be drawn apart
F --------------------C
Got to be without you now
C--------------------D7----------
People are stars, they're so beautiful
F-----------------------------C
But they'll do what they will do
C --------------D7----------
Life is strange, things change
F -----------------C -------
Hang on to what is true
C ----------------D7-----------------
People are stars, they're so beautiful
F-----------------------------C ---------------
But they'll do what they will do
C ---------------D7 ---------
Life is strange, things change
F ---------------(no chord)
But we can make it through
