Intro:

BB  G minorGm  A augmentedA  DmDm
BB  G minorGm  A augmentedA  DmDm


verse 1:

BB       G minorGm
The patter of breaking glass
A augmentedA      DmDm        BB
invades like gentle rain and a dog
          G minorGm
barks somewhere in Gleadless
     A augmentedA          DmDm
i'm in a safe yet frightening dream again
    BB      G minorGm
and the night is an endless place
    A augmentedA        DmDm
but it ends so sweetly at your face
   BB       G minorGm
this bed is made of energy
     A augmentedA        DmDm
it's the strangest kingdom where we sleep

pre-chorus 1:

BB        C majorC      DmDm  BB
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
     DmDm      C majorC
not like when we were young
BB        C majorC       DmDm     A augmentedA
the kids are asleep while the kids in the park
A augmentedA
are happy burning cars


chorus 1:

BB           G minorGm
and i hear the gentle morning song
    A augmentedA           DmDm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
BB        G minorGm
like a litany recited for me
    A augmentedA      DmDm
in the dark aisles of our street

BB  G minorGm  DmDm     A augmentedA
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
BB  G minorGm  DmDm     A augmentedA
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu

verse 2:

BB       G minorGm         A augmentedA
the patter of tiny feet could it be
      DmDm           BB
the final straw we've thrown on the back
        G minorGm
of the camel of our youth
      A augmentedA          DmDm
long in the teeth, will i still long for you
    BB
because life is an endless place
   C majorC         DmDm
or at least it sometimes seems that way
    BB        C majorC
will we die wearing perplexed faces
 DmDm         BB
books of words still left to say


pre-chorus 2:

BB        C majorC      DmDm  BB
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
     DmDm      C majorC
not like when we were young
BB        C majorC      DmDm     A augmentedA
the world isn't waiting for us but it whispers softly through the door


chorus 2:

BB           G minorGm
i hear the gentle morning song
    A augmentedA        DmDm
like a quiet reflection of my soul
 BB            G minorGm
i sang that song back when i was young
    BB           G minorGm
and the virgin earth stretched on and on

BB           G minorGm
and i hear the gentle morning song
    A augmentedA           DmDm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
    BB     G minorGm
like a litany recited for me
    A augmentedA      DmDm
in the dark church of our street

BB  G minorGm  DmDm     A augmentedA
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
BB  G minorGm  DmDm     A augmentedA
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
BB  G minorGm  DmDm     A augmentedA
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
BB  G minorGm  DmDm     A augmentedA
