D                Dmaj7
Did you expect it all to stop
G            A
At the wave of your hand?

D                    Dmaj7
Like the sun is just going to drop
G         A
If it’s night you demand.


D                Dmaj7
Well, in the dark we are just air
G           A
So the house might dissolve.
D                  Dmaj7
But once we are gone, who is gonna care
G                 A
If we were ever here at all?


G
Well, summer is going to come
A                     Dmaj7
And it’s gonna cloud our eyes again.

There is not need to focus
G                     A
When there is nothing that it worth seeing.


D                Dmaj7
So we trade liquor for blood
G                  A
In an attempt to tip the scales.
D                       Dmaj7
I think you lost what you loved
G            A
In that mess of details.


D                          Dmaj7
They seemed so important at the time
G          A
But now you can’t even recall
D                Dmaj7
Any of the names, faces, or lines.
G                      A
It is more the feeling of it all.


G
Well, winter is going to end and
A
I’m going to clean these veins again.
Dmaj7     G
So close to dying that I finally can
A
Start living.
