E A C#m B x2
[E]
This midmorning [A]awakening
This bleak w[C#m]hiteness, nothingness[B][E]
The eye that s[A]tares through your mi[C#m]rror
A su[B]ction entanglement[E]
On stained sh[A]eets
Figures with [C#m]no regrets[B][E]
Their doubts ca[A]st a shadow he[C#m]re[B][C#m]
The time dri[B]fts[C#m]
The time[B] swells[C#m]
The skies me[A]lt[B][E]
In my dre[A]am I[C#m] am older[B][E]
Everything is s[A]oft out of focus[C#m]
There's this sou[B]nd which di[E]sturbs me[A]
A clarinet p[C#m]lays in the di[B]stance[E]
Everything tu[A]rns black and w[C#m]hite
Black or wh[B]ite[E]
I must go to w[A]ork[C#m]
I know where it [B]is[E]
I've been there be[A]fore[C#m]
I'll go t[B]here this time[C#m]
They will not[B] have to force [C#m]me
I'll go th[B]ere willingly[C#m]
I'll go t[A]here to[B]day[E][A][C#m][E][B]
[A]This could be New [C#m]York
This could be L[E]ondon
I don't care an[C#m]ymore
[E]I'm wearing this s[A]uit
A black suit[C#m]
I'm wearing this t[E]ie
A black tie[C#m]
I'm carrying this c[A]ase
A black case[C#m]
I walk down the s[B]treet
The people are sta[E]ring[A]
The taxi cab is sl[C#m]ower[B][E]
[A]A piano falls from above[C#m]
It sm[B]ashes in front of [C#m]me
I fall to the fl[B]oor[C#m]
I open this d[B]oor[C#m]
I'm back in my r[A]oom
I see two p[B]eople a[E]sleep[A][C#m][B][E]
This midmorning awa[A]kening
This b[C#m]leak grey whiteness[E], nothing[B]ness
The e[A]ye that stares thro[C#m]ugh your mirr[B]or
In such an ent[E]anglement[A][C#m]
I see two f[B]igures asle[E]ep[A]
They look older[C#m]
[B]You look older[E]
We're all older[A]
We're all older[C#m][B]
[E]Let us j[A]oin them in their d[C#m]reams[B][C#m]
We're only four h[B]ours[C#m]
We're only four mo[B]ments[C#m]
We're only here t[A]oo long[B][E]
