The Kids Were Wrong

C                       F Fmaj7
Go to sleep, nothing's changing
D                           C
I'll be right here by your side
C                           F
Break the teens, colours fading
D                          C
In the stillness of the night

        C
You're thick-skinned, but it seems
       F
You're hiding in daydreams
D                          C
Can't find our way to the light
C                                    Fmaj7        F
And when this routine ends, through nights and weekends
D                                 C
We'll see daylight through the blinds


Am             G                               Fmaj7
Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days
                   C                                    Am
Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
                 G                               F
Fingernails and cold skin, your parent's bed we lay in
                         G
Arms outstretched to emptiness; the space you've left behind

[Chorus]
C                         F
Go to sleep, nothing's changing
Dm                          C
I'll be right here by your side
C                         Fmaj7
Tear the seams, we're not aging
Dm                                 C
Beneath these trembling star-lit skies

C
You're thick-skinned, but you know
       F
It's beyond our control
Dm                       C
Shadows gleaming in our eyes
C                             F
Been living a past dear, be free from those dull years
Dm               D                   C
And we'll see daylight through the blinds

Am             G                               F
Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days
                   C                                    Am
Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
                 G                               F
Fingernails and cold skin, your parent's bed we lay in
                         G
Arms outstretched to emptiness; the space you've left behind
