Half Life

Bm                Em       F#     Bm
It’s not like I want it back again
                 Em       F#     Bm
It’s not like I want the sky to open
                 Em       F#      
And rain down in visions of black 
  Bm
again
                 Em       F#   
But now that the Sun has finally 
     Bm
broken through
        Em    F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
        Em    F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
       Em    F#        Bm
The sky is perfectly blue

[Verse 2]

Em F# Bm

                 Em         F#    
The wind comes and whips the trees
        Bm
 bare again
                 Em         F#    
The wind comes, exposing secrets 
        Bm
of the form
       Em         F#            Bm
Part of me wants to be there again
        Em         F#            
Restless, naked, howling for the 
Bm
dawn
    Em      F#        Bm
I’m not invoking a storm
    Em      F#        Bm
I’m not invoking a storm
    Em      F#        Bm
The air is perfectly warm

[Verse 3]

Em F# Bm

          Em         F#          Bm
It’s not like I want it back again
       Em    F#            Bm
Chaos can find another lover
              Em         F#       
It’s not like I’m wearing all 
     Bm
black again
                Em               
The days come sweet, but are they
F#             Bm
 cutting through?
      Em      F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
      Em      F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
  Em        F#         B
The sky is perfectly blue

[Bridge]

Ahh..   Ahh
B Bm F# D#m

             G#m               F#
If it’s not Love then make it pain
                  Bb               
Not some sort of Half Life I can’t 
   B
explain
             G#m               F#
And if it’s peace then make it real
                  Bb               
Not this sort of numbness I cannot 
   B
feel
             G#m               
Take all my joy but leave me my 
F#
fears
                  Bb               
This sort of Half Life bores me to 
   D#m
tears
               G#m
So bring me rapture
               F#
And bring me bliss
                Bb
Or take it all away
                     F#
But don’t leave me this

[Verse 4]

Bm          Em         F#       
It’s not like I want it back 
     Bm
again
             Em         F#        
It’s not like I want my heart 
    Bm
ripped open
        Em         F#            Bm
In some sort of vicious attack again
             Em            F#  
But now that the Sun has finally 
             Bm
broken through
      Em         F#      Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
      Em         F#       Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
      Em     F#       Bm
The sky is perfectly blue
