Intro A C#m F#m Dº F
Bm7 F#m7
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
Bm7 F#m7
But I don't need the comfort of any lies
Bm7 F#m7 A F7M(5+)
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending rise
Bm7 F#m7
Oh back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters
Bm7 F#m7
That my end will be torture beneath the earth
Bm7 F#m7
'Cuz I don't see what they see when death is staring at me
Bm7 F7M(5+)
I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all
( D7M/A F7M/C A7M/E A6/E )
( Bm7 C#m7 D7M F7M/C )
Bm7 F#m7
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever
Bm7 F#m7
Would your life even matter anymore?
Bm7 F#m7
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
A F7M(5+)
But it's not what you signed up for

( A F7M(5+) F#m F7M(5+))
A F7M(5+) F#m/A F7M(5+)
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
A F7M(5+) F#m/A F7M(5+)
But there's this momentary beam of light
A F7M(5+)
You don't have to wait those salty decades

To get through the gate it's all in front of your face
A F7M(5+) F#m/A F7M(5+)
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
A F7M(5+) D7M Dm
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
A F7M(5+) D7M Dm
But there's this momentary beam of light
A Bm7
I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion
A Bm7
For every shining second this fragile body beckons
A Bm7
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters
A Bm7
Sure it's a calming notion but it's a lie
