Plans For The Future chords by Said The Whale

Am

Am
Daylight is fading like an awkward smile

C
Sun hides behind the west coast


E
I thought, I thought I knew
         C
I had everything figured out


C

'Til night came and I lost my shadow


C
Blended with moonlight and broken glass
C
Ten hours of panic will follow


E
I watch the trees look black
    C
My red shirt in is turning grey


C
Strange things just won't stop appearing!


E
Give me day, give me light

These days, those days


C
I was taught to bottle my emptiness
C
Deal with my quarter-life angst by painting pictures


C
Tip of my pencil describes what I might have drawn
C
Had my left brain and right hand been in contact


E
Broken section is now, read on

Am
Then all at once, the sky started raining
C
Soaked to the bone, stopped!


Am
People of nighttime, came out of hiding
C
One of them turned my way


           G
She said: "I'd like to tell you
        Am
Some things I wished I'd known
C
When I was young like you


G
It won't take a second
         Am
But it could save you years
C
Years passed like seconds out here"


Use verse chords here:


I was enthralled with the way that
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scrapes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention



You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the (?)
What I would give for that, I hope you never know


C
So live your life!
                         Am
Don't sleep through the night!
Fmaj
Life's worth a living!
                           G
You gotta start living it right!


              Am
So live your life!
                         C
Don't sleep through the day!
Fmaj
Dreams are for living!
                              G
You gotta stop letting them die
