[G]Hear the whistle blow [C]
[G]It echoes down my soul [C]
It's so[Em]mething I have always kn[C]own [D]
[G]Nothing sounds so sad [C]
A cr[G]y to the unknown [C]
The fun[Em]damental sigh of all who've gone this way bef[C]ore [D]
Lay[(D-sus)-] [D] me d[C]own to[D] sl[G]eep
Com[(Dsus)-]e a[D]nd co[D]mfor[-]t m[C]e [G]
I'll [C]sleep i[D]n p[Em]eace
In a ho[C]use of broken dreams [D][(Dsus-D)]
I'm old[G] enough to know [C]
That drea[G]ms are quickly spent [C]
Like a pour[Em]ing rain on warm ceme[C]nt [D]
Or fi[G]ngerprints in dust [C]
Necta[G]r on the wind [C]
[Em] [C]
Sa[D]ve them for tomorrow and tomorrow lets you down again
[Em] Give me the[C] reasons to go [G]on
[Em] Soften the sorrow that shatters and bends [C]
And mend[D]s broken [Dsus-D]dreams [C-G]
(etc.)
Sentimental hearts
Hungry for the past
Penniless at the wishing-well
Memories will last
And cover certain scars
Acquired in the daily grind of being what we are
(Chorus)
