[tune a half step down]


Verse 1
C            F
After all this useless fighting, after all our schemes

F               C
We could sense a final battle, and started picking teams

C             F
And due to lack of education, I fell in with thieves

F              C
And took to drinking as religion and landed on my knees


Verse 2
And truth it starts as understanding and finds you in the night
And circles all around the ceiling a frightened bird in flight
After spreading hours beneath it everything comes clear
Truth will pose no danger to you what hunts you both is fear

Verse 3
Somewhere in our everafter telephones still ring
Somewhere in our future journal, love still means something
But I have learned a mighty lesson from this change of plan
Loss is brutal and I can't stand it, I wonder how you can

Verse 4
C
And all the while, there's dogs barking, streets are talking out my window

F
And all the light the snow is flaking hearts are making

C
a mess out of these, thoughts I'm thinking, boats keep sinking,

C
it's drowning to keep drinking

F                     C
And if this darkness came from light, then light must come from darkness, I guess (2x)
