Intro: E MajorE C majorC D MajorD E MajorE [x2]

--------------------------------------------

E MajorE        C majorC       D MajorD     E MajorE
Day dawns dark, it now numbers infinity.
E MajorE             C majorC
Life crawls from the past, watching in wonder
D MajorD            E MajorE
I trace its patterns in me.
A augmentedA     G+G
Tomorrow's tomorrow is birth again.
G7G7       A#A#
Boats burn the bridge in the fens;
A augmentedA          G+G       G7G7
the time of the past returns to my life
E MajorE  FF G+G A augmentedA E MajorE
and uses it.

--------------------------------------------------------

E MajorE       C majorC            D MajorD       E MajorE
Don't blame me for the letters that may form in the sand;
E MajorE               C majorC
don't look in my eyes, you may see all the numbers
   D MajorD           E MajorE
that stretch in my sky and colour my hand.
A augmentedA         G+G
Don't say that I'm wrong in imagining
G7G7          A#A#
that the voice of my life cannot sing.
A augmentedA        G+G      G7G7
Fate enters and talks in old words:
E MajorE  FF G+G A augmentedA  E MajorE
they amuse it.

Solo: E MajorE FF G+G A augmentedA E MajorE [x5]

----------------------------------------------

E MajorE           C majorC
Hands shine darkly and white;
D MajorD          E MajorE
only in dark do they appear.
E MajorE       C majorC
Bless the baby born today,
D MajorD        E MajorE
flying in pitch, flying on fear.
A augmentedA        G+G
They shine in my eyes and touch my face
G7G7           A#A#
where I have seen them placed before;
A augmentedA                G+G     G7G7
don't blame me, please, for the fate that falls:
E MajorE FF    G+G   A augmentedA  E MajorE
I did not choose it.
E MajorE     FF
I did not, no, no, I did not,
G+G        A augmentedA   E MajorE
I truly did not choose it.
