Bm D* Em D Cmaj7* A promise of a new day, born with every little seed, C Am G D Em D Am And gardens growing over, with snow white baby thimbleweed.

Bm D Em D C* Now everyone was sleeping, heavier than ever before, C Am G D Em D C As broken vows and dead dreams, washed upon a silver shore. Interlude: Am7 G Em D Bm A Am7 G Em D Bm Asus4 A Am7 G Em D Bm A A G D/F# A A* [Verso 3] Bm Em* Am G D* I sat there by the window, as the hours turned to years, Em G Bm D* Em D C* And never gave up hoping, there would be something for me here, G Bm Em* G D C* Now everyone was waiting, for a day that never came, G Em D* Em D C* And wherever the wind blew, the sky would stay the same.
