[DmDm]      [C majorC]      [A#A#]      [C majorC]      [DmDm]
[DmDm]The air was thick like honey, [C majorC]looking from a room
[A#A#]The room had [C majorC]open windows, [DmDm]to let the springtime through
[DmDm]Evening stood by watching, at the [C majorC]side of summers promise
T[A#A#]he flowers in a [C majorC]garden were the [DmDm]envy be of her friends

How [DmDm]far are we from dying is it [C majorC]nearly at an end
  How [A#A#]far are we from [C majorC]dying is it [DmDm]nearly at an end

[DmDm]The smog hung on the skylines, the[C majorC] city fell in silence
The [A#A#]sunset ripe and [C majorC]mellow, was the[DmDm] ligth to write thoughts by
[DmDm]Her children watch for father, from the [C majorC]window in the wall
[A#A#]said a prayer for [C majorC]grandpapa and [DmDm]mabye many more

[DmDm]Somewhere in the distance, on the [C majorC]road so far away
I [A#A#]heard the sound of [C majorC]life, though the [DmDm]people left for home

{comment:Solo}

[DmDm]Three birds flew off a building, standing ['][C majorC]proud against the sky
[A#A#]Many for flew with [C majorC]them are, spiralled [DmDm]upward like laughter
[DmDm]Faster, harder, the [C majorC]rose up in a column
[A#A#]hundrets upon hundrets, and [DmDm]twice that many wingsspeed

[DmDm]Four miles accross, stretched a [C majorC]millions miles high
The [A#A#]living pulsing [C majorC][']column in the [DmDm]lady of the sky
[DmDm]Feathers trash together [C majorC]locked in that huge one
I [A#A#]knew no one coul[C majorC]d see it and n[DmDm]ow that it was is gone

[DmDm]I rubbed my eyes and tried to find the [C majorC]reason for the fly
[A#A#]Exodus es[C majorC]cape or was it j[DmDm]ust for me to see
[DmDm]Like the mating of the earth and air
[C majorC]Like water is to flowers the [A#A#]envy of her frien[C majorC]ds

How far are we from [DmDm]dying is it nearly at an end
[DmDm]How far are we from dying is it [C majorC]nearly at an end
 How [A#A#]far are we from [C majorC]dying is it [DmDm]nearly at an end
How [A#A#]far are we from [C majorC]dying is it [DmDm]nearly at an end
