[(intro) ]
D
D
the night is restless
but no dream's in sight
A7
and the sounds have no beginnings or ends
and that glow is not a light
D
the walls turn into waterfalls
with water made of thoughts that call,
A7
"it's not O.K. to tip the glass
don't smile too long or shed a tear
D
you're not the only one that's you
things have changed, now we are here."
(solo) E E G G E E G G F5 A
D
we are not the king and queen
what we are lies in between
A7
the blankets that you've never seen
but over you are spread
D
"we are here," the voices sing
"we are here," the echo thunders
A7
"here we are," the doorbell rings
"we are here and here in numbers"
(solo) E E G G E E G G F5 A
D
the others came in from the hall
and thoughts with voices start to call,
A7
"it's not O.K. to tip the glass
or smile too long or shed a tear
D
you're not alone the way you thought
things have changed, now we are here"
( E )
