Start accepting things from day one

Laugh through the punches and the pain

All that unto death do we

'Til you managed the lock and magicked the key
Em
After a night of hard drinking and ecstasy
Pre-Chorus:
F Am
It's softer than words that are spoken

Blackened on paper that's shredded and torn
F Am
Or carved into stones lying shattered and broken

Branches beckoned along the wrong path
Bm E7
Winding up in the past
Chorus:
Em
And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
F Am
It's softer than words that are spoken

Written on slips as the punters wait smoking

A leap of faith, the odds sky-high
Bm E7
Said goodbye to your place or mine

Don't like to make promises that I can't keep

Will I hold your hand or you be left holding mine?
B A#m G# D#m
Between this breath and then
B A#m G# D#m
There's this airlock of time
F#m B
This airlock of time
Chorus:
Em
And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
F Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
F Em
In the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned
F Am
Engraved on gold rings or some other love token
Bm Em Bm E7
No walls, no bells to sanctify this dark and velvet night
Outro:

Intro:
Em
Verse 1:
Em D
Take my arm and walk with me
Cmaj7
Once more down this dusty old path

The sunset cuts the hill in half

Our shadows stretch back to touch the night

The light's fading, you say

But these darkening days

Flow like honey

These days slowing down

A whole life in a glance
Cmaj7
The clearest light shines in the darkness

One step at a time

As the days slip by

As smooth as glass

The moments pass
Chorus:
Em D
And all these precious things you gave
Cmaj7
That I've been holding in my hands

These grains of sand

Pushes against the stream

It disobeys me

Time is a tide that disobeys
D
And it disobeys me
Em
It never ends Published:
