The music stops

The river rolls on by

At the end of the day

I don’t even know where to start
                A7          G
I’m lost in the forest of regrets
              D       Em
Following the crumbs
               Bm       C
Trying to undo all I’ve done

Somehow I can’t retrace my steps

Naked as a bone

Don’t leave me here all alone

With this hollow heart of clay
      G          Bm
Ain’t everyone devout
Cm       Bm              Am
When the sand is running out
       D          G
At the end of the day

Verse:
         D      Em
Campfire towns
                   Bm      F
Smouldering on the ground
           A7          G
With their embers all aglow
                              D      Em
You’re somewhere down there I guess
                      Bm      C
The moonlight on your breast
            Cm         G
Blue as the new fallen snow

Verse:
  C
I do what I do
G
You do too
C               G             F    C
That’s just the price that we pay
G                Bm
Stronger for our scars
    Cm       Bm   Am
And wiser by far
       D          G
At the end of the day
