Verse:
E                     B
The countless eyes dotted in the night sky
E                      B
I speak the language, or several hundred words.
E                      B
A cloudless day, and a thunderous night.
E                      B
Among companions, I'll carry my name.


Chorus:
F#
But the life we lead came gradually.
B

Who keeps the time?
F#
A bitter lime, will do us fine
B
To kill the taste.


Verse:
E                        B
We´ll turn deaf ears on all that we don’t wanna hear
E                            B
But a cause for travel has come again.
E                          B
At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story
E                        B
She looks outside and doubles over laughing.


Chorus:
F#
Of the souls you loved, and a place you lived
B
Those country houses.
F#
And a change of heart tore us apart
B
Oh, what a ride.

B    F#   B   F#


B
Every chance you have
B
All the love and life
B
All the joy and grace
              F#
Don't be absurd, don't you think it out
F#
You know what thinking does
                              B
To love's shine, and love's light.
B
Now it's your every word
B
Oh I'm hanging on
                      F#
It feels right these days
F#
I saw strange things
F#
The lines of old faces
                           B
Up on the stormy sky, tonight.

Verse:
E                               B
Now all the younger kids have gone away to sleep
E                         B
In the days to come, I’ll do the same.
E                         B
At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story
E                        B
She looks outside and doubles over laughing.


Chorus:

The life we lead came gradually
