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..."
