If You Never Say Goodbye - PM Dawn
Intro:
A-E-G-F#-F#m
Repeat
A B E F#
Legs of a calf, Head of a man
A B F#
Eyes on the camera, shaking everyone's hand
A B G A
Vultures circle, and smack their lips
A E F#
The sky goes black, as the lightning rips
A B E F#
Stars are mute, Moon without pity
A B F#
As waves of blood, Roll over the city
A B G A
It's not a rehearsal, or special effects
A E F#
It's the end of a story, it’s what happens next
Chorus:
A E F#
If I say, and I say, it’s coming any second
A E G F#
If I say, and I say, in the blink of an eye
A E F#
And I say, and I say, with a bang and a whimper
A E G F#
And I say it's OK, if you never say goodbye
A B E F#
Son of a child, Son of a beast
A B F#
As it slouches and slithers its way from the feast
A B G A
I dreamt a dream, but what can it mean
A E F#
Angels and lords, devour the queen
A B E F#
All the people danced, and tore at their clothes
A B F#
The sky caught fire, and the oceans froze
A B G A
It wasn't a fable, it wasn't a hoax
A E F#
The servants and devils just making up jokes
(Chorus)
A B G A
I saw a chapel, made of Gold
A B G A
The light was so blue, and the air was so cold
A B G A
It sounded high, on a microphone
F G B
As the rats kept rhythm, on a chicken bone
A B E F#
People wept, and swallowed their jewels
A B F#
Entered like soldiers, departing as fools
A B G A
It isn't a sentence, it’s not a reward
A E F#
It's a black parachute, with a noose for a cord
(Chorus)
A E
And I say it's OK
G F#
If you never say goodbye
(x6)
