Nights Become Days

E

E                           A
We saw in the dawn from the roof of 
the bar

        B                          
When nights become days and you've 
 A       F#m
gone too far

E                             A  
We listened to songbirds and rush
               B               A
 hour cars and welcomed in the day

           E                A
You said, “London in summertime is 
great,

    B                         
On days like this I feel like I 
A         F#m
could escape

        E                     
From things that I've done and 
  A
mistakes that I've made.

     B          A       F#m
I'd wash it all away”

A                            
We bathed like swimmers in the 
   E          A                   
morning sun, waiting for our night
         E
 to end

A                               E
It felt like one of us would come
               A   Amaj7 A       
 down hard and one  of   us would
      E
 start again

E                           A
It started out curious, it started 
out fun

Continues after the ad
        B                   A     
We smoked in the woods when we 
   F#m
were young

E                             A
And secretly slipped something under
 our tongues

B               A
And danced the night away

           E                A
And everyone stumbles on old cocaine

    B                         
It burns out the flesh, and it 
A             F#m
burdens the brain

        E                    A 
‘Til brown comes and whisks away 
                    B              
your pain and you find you've lost 
      A       F#m
your way

A                            
We bathed like swimmers in the 
   E          A                   
morning sun, waiting for our night
         E
 to end

A                               E
It felt like one of us would come
               A   Amaj7 A       
 down hard and one  of   us would
      E
 start again

F#m                         B
Sink in the river for your death

F#m                         B
Sleep with the fishes, draw no 
breath

F#m                         B
Swallow forever ‘til nothing's left

        F#m
Take no rest

F#m                 B   F#m     
Oh my friend, if you made for 
                E                  
the shore, you'd see us here, we're
     F#m
 all waiting

F#m                 B   F#m     
Just cast your eyes down to the 
                E              
floor you'll see us here, we're 
         F#m
waiting

F#m                            
Don't sink in the river for your 
     B
death

F#m                            
You could sleep in the shade and 
             B
draw some breath

F#m                               
Could start fresh tomorrow, leave 
          B
what's left

                F#m            
Please draw breath, please draw 
 E               A
breath

                        E          
Let's let nights become days
     A


    E    A    E   B   F#m      
So come down kid the roofs not 
A     B
safe now

 E    A    E      B   F#m  B  
All your friends are waiting 
A   B     A  F#m  A
for you to get some rest
