[Verse 1]
CF
Loosen the wire, your time has expired,
AmG
The only word left now is goodbye.
GF
In my new dream the light's shining on me,
FF
Little needles of sodium unstitch the seams of the sky.

[Verse 2]
CF
Hold your head higher, the heavenly choir,
AmG
Is settling in for the night.
GF
And where I had friends, I am left with loose ends,
FF
Four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of
G
fright. But enough of the
[Chorus 1]
C
Fight. Enough you and
F
I. Enough of
Em
Prevail or walk in the
F
Light. While the angels stand
C
By I get high as a
F
Kite. I'm too tired to
Em
Smile, or know that I'm
FFGG
Right. Am I right?

[Bridge]
F
And all our best-laid
G
Plans, well, they
CGAm
Crumbled in our hands.
AmGG
Our flags fell where they'd fanned.
FG
You held in your breath long
CGAm
After. projections of death,
AmG
You sat in the waiting rasping and gasped on dry land.
[Verse 3]
CF
But the audience is tired, we've had enough fire,
AmG
We're entering the age now of ice,
GF
And I, feeling older, pull off to the shoulder,
FFG
And wonder, with my head in my hands, should I call my wife,
G
And say enough you and
[Chorus 2]
C
I. Enough of the
F
Fight. Enough of
Em
'Prevail', or walk in the
F
light. While the angels stand
C
By, I get high as a
F
Kite. I'm too tired to
Em
Smile, or know that I'm
F
Right. Enough you and
C
I. Enough of the
F
Fight. Enough of
Em
Prevail or walk in the
F
Light. And when the spacecraft came
C
Down, I was left on the
F
Ground. Will you keep me
Em
Around? Will you help me
FF
Survive? After my
GG
time.
