A minorAm            C majorC         D MajorD
Gone with the grace of a black-winged crow
   A minorAm         C majorC     D MajorD
With all the tact of an exit poll
 FF            G+G
I banked the curve of the last back road
     C majorC      G/BG/B    D MajorD
While you washed your hands in a silver bowl

And that was all

This is how it always ends
     D MajorD         FF
Up on the Ten O' Clock Line

     C majorC
There's a hole in the world
    G/BG/B
Take me only a space

For something that's been waiting

Until I turned my face

Until I turned my face

The leaves recount with a rasping sound
 A minorAm         C majorC       D MajorD
A augmentedA shadow cast on the autumn ground
    FF          G+G
It's a lovely wish, it's a tender sight
 C majorC    G/BG/B   D MajorD
A augmentedA promise made on shifting light
FF
Bad news from the start
          G+G
And still I gave my heart

Until I turned my face

Verse:
 A minorAm           C majorC      D MajorD
I always thought I would start again
  A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD
But I was so much younger then
  FF        G+G
Perhaps no more of just the same
   C majorC   G/BG/B     D MajorD
But a deeper song with a different name
  FF
The last one had its time
            G+G
Up on the Ten O' Clock Line

Up on the Ten O' Clock Line

Chorus:
     C majorC
There's a hole in the world
