[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Bb D Eb
Bury me in autumn
Bb D Eb
Alongside the trees
Bb D Eb
When Lucy flies to the moon
Bb D Eb
And thieves will steal the leaves
 
[Verse 2]
Bb D Eb
Hide it in winter
Bb D Eb
Underneath the snow
Bb D Eb
My friend from home he left town on
Bb D Eb
A train with hundred ghosts
 
Bb D Eb x2
 
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
I've been trying to see it
Bb
Through cracks in life
F/A
How time changes everything
And then it hides
Gm Eb
The same old mirror
Bb
But a different face
F/A
Just lay on your back
And reach out into space
 
Bb D Eb x2
 
[Verse 3]
Bb D Eb
Run away in the spring
Bb D Eb
When all lives anew
Bb D Eb
My dad loved the kiss of wind
Bb D Eb
And hated my tattoos
 
Bb D Eb x2
 
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
I've been trying to see it
Bb
Through cracks in life
F/A
How time changes everything
And then it hides
Gm Eb
The same old mirror
Bb
But a different face
F/A
Just lay on your back
And reach out into space
 
[Bridge]
Eb Gm
My eyes are moonlit
F
They won't ignore
Eb Gm
The beauty of a cloud
F
In different forms
Eb Gm
And I sink fast
F
Like a cannonball
Eb Gm
When I think too much
F
I know nothing at all
Eb
I know nothing at all
Eb
I know nothing at all
Eb
I know nothing at all
 
Bb D Eb x2
 
[Outro]
Bb D Eb
But I walk with Mum in summer
Bb D Eb
Where daisies bloom
Bb D Eb
I was carried on her shoulders
Bb D Eb Bb
Forever in her womb
