C Em
Pull down the shades, let's kill the morning
F G
Lets kill the morning, let it die
Am Dm
Well, your eyes flash out a warning
G C
But they'll be another morning after afternoon and tonight
[Verse 2]
Em Am
Fuck long hours sick with singing
Em G
Sick with singing the same songs
Am Dm
In the bars, they'll soon be drinking
G
Lets cash my check and drink along
[Verse 3]
C Em
Old times, hello, hey, I've missed you
F G
Old life, hey now, let me in
Am Dm
Because you win on every issue
G
Now, can I kiss you?
Don't you care how long it's been?
[Verse 4]
Em Am
It has been so many years, I lived my yearning
Em G
But in every bed, it led me through
Am Dm
They only blew on what was burning
G
And it grew, the fire grew
[Verse 5]
Am G
And now with nothing to consume
Am G
It's turned on me in my glass room
Am Dm
Where I'll burn, you think I'm finished
G
Think I'm not winning
Well, go on, assume
[Verse 6]
C G Am F
So, take me, I'm yours, morning starship
C G Am F
Sparkling stars line your lights as they lift off
Am F Am F G
The loneliest street corner this clown has yet leaned against
[Verse 7]
C G Am F
I'll let all these fine faces fold into me
C G Am F
The warmth from the space lights illumines the sea
Am F Am F G
As the laughingest mouths wetly open, but we set them sighing
G
We'll take them flying
[Verse 8]
C Em
And we'll take this man, left almost passed out
F G
Cause we're pretty sure he needs a hand
Am
He says he can't stand
Dm
And when we pick him up
G
He asks us where this ship will land
[Verse 9]
Em Am
But he knows we know it isn't coming down
Em G
He knows we know we'll fly so far
Am Dm
Till finally stars hold him in all around
G
Till he forgets the ground
Till he forgets the crawling way
Am
Real people sometimes are
[Outro]
G Am x6
La, la, la, la, la
