[Intro] Am C/G G F7M
Am C/G G F7M
[Primeira Parte]
Am C/G
Dying seems like an ancient tale
G F7M
A drunkard told me once
Am
For you grew up fast
C/G
And grew up weak
G F7M
You never land a punch
Am C/G
In the coldness of your eyes
G F7M
I see the type of man you are
Am C/G
Too afraid to be the same
G F7M
Too afraid to stray too far
( Am C/G G F7M )
( Am C/G G F7M )
[Segunda Parte]
Am C/G
We drove that night to the town
G F7M
Where the old folks curse the new
Am C/G
Never thought we would hold
G F7M
Something borrowed something blue
Am C/G
Memories last a lifetime
G F7M
But in my mind this was it
Am C/G
I look up to the milky way
G F7M
And dream of what exists
[Refrão]
C/G Am
Why walk when we can run
G F7M
You never date the youngest son
C/G Am
(But if you) Heed the word of every man
G F7M
You’ll never leave their promised land
C/G Am
(But it’s) Hoping in the corners of your mind
G
You’ll see the way I see
F7M C/G
And shine like you can shine
Am G F7M
I wish for you the best of life can be
( Am C/G G F7M )
( Am C/G G F7M )
[Terceira Parte]
Am C/G
Some people try to run away
G F7M
By staying deadly still
Am C/G
With you I’ve earned a different path
G F7M
We can put that in our will
Am C/G
You could spend a lifetime
G F7M
Blowing dreams and cigarettes
Am C/G
For you I put the lighter down
G F7M
And cashed in all my bets
[Refrão]
C/G Am
Why walk when we can run
G F7M
You never date the youngest son
C/G Am
(But if you) Heed the word of every man
G F7M
You’ll never leave their promised land
C/G Am
(But it’s) Hoping in the corners of your mind
G
You’ll see the way I see
F7M C/G
And shine like you can shine
Am G F7M
I wish for you the best of life can be
( Am C/G G F7M )
( Am C/G G F7M )
