D A Em D A Em
D D#dim7 E7 C D7
🎸 Verse 1:
D
Sun up high
A Em
Life is an epitome
D A Em
Or so it was until they rose out from the sea
D
Sparks descend
A Em
Giant, like hot air balloons
D A Em
Striking everyone in the vicinity
G D A F#m E Bm
I was with my friend, there was no defense
G A D A
We were split apart, and I haven’t seen him since
🎸 Verse 2:
D
Months go by
A Em
The sunset is perpetual
D A Em
Those sparks, they continue to afflict us
D
Stuck inside
A Em
Electric quarantine
D A Em
No more will we let the sparks restrict us
G D A F#m E Bm
So I found my friend, we ran to the end
G A D A
Of the earth, as far as we could go
🎸 Bridge:
C
We hit the sea, can’t go no further,
D Em G G/F#
Sparks hound us like a sheepherder
C
Caught between the spark and sea,
D Em G G/F#
The two don’t mix we quite agree
C
The sparks divide like long division
D
Now I’m blocked by a partition
C
My friend forced out to the waves
D D#dim7
I can’t do nothing to stop our early graves
C
He cries “I can’t swim, I’m gonna drown”
D
I’m sorry friend, I let you down
D#dim7 C E7
But no one can say we didn’t try
🎸 Verse 3:
D
Looking on
A Em
His two feet hit the salty foam
D A Em D
And he proceeds to walk across the surface
D
Looking up
A Em
He moves across it safe and sound
D A Em
Off into the sunset, smile on his face
G D A F#m E Bm
So I try the same, but to my dismay
G A D
My feet are simply going straight through!
D#dim7 C E7
What can I do?
🎸 Verse 4:
D
Sun up high
A Em
Life was an epitome
D A Em D
Or so it was until they rose out from the sea
D
Sparks descend
A Em
Bringing my story to an end
D A Em
So take a lesson, sparks and sea don’t mix, you see
D A Em A
Take a lesson, and enjoy the journey.
