G Dm F C

[Verse]
G                          Dm
I'm not asking for favors, not tonight
F                        C
I look up in the sky...  all the rockets fall down (fall down)


G                  Dm
too many promises, too many lies
F                             C
too many faces for me to know


G Dm F C x2

[Verse]
G                         Dm
Sometimes I sit among the markers
    F                   C
and contemplate my next life
G                   Dm
says something less sympathetic-
F                                               C
"a little more unconditional respect was buried here"

[Chorus]
G             Dm
But it never lived
F            C
and it never died
G                  Dm
it never came from them
F             C
it was always inside...

[Verse]
G                         Dm
I don't care if time just passes us by
F                          C
I can stand the change...  but not the cruelty

G                  Dm
too many promises, too many lies
F                C
too many faces for me to know

[Verse]
G                         Dm
Sometimes I sit among the markers
    F                   C
and contemplate my next life
G                   Dm
says something less sympathetic-
F                                               C
"a little more unconditional respect was buried here"

[Chorus]
G             Dm
"But it never lived
F            C
and it never died
G                  Dm
it never came from them
F             C
it was always inside..."
