[Intro]
[B] [Gm] [A] [Dm]
[B] [Gm] [A] [Dm]
[verse 1]
[B]The patter of [Gm]breaking glass
[A]invades like [Dm]gentle rain and a [B]dog
barks somewhere in [Gm]Gleadless
i'm in a [A]safe yet frightening [Dm]dream again
and the [B]night is an [Gm]endless place
but it [A]ends so sweetly [Dm]at your face
this [B]bed is made of [Gm]energy
it's the [A]strangest kingdom[Dm] where we sleep
[pre-chorus 1]
[B]the world isn't [C]waiting for [Dm]us any[B]more
not like [Dm]when we were [C]young
[B]the kids are asl[C]eep while the [Dm]kids in the [A]park
[A]are happy burning cars
[chorus 1]
[B]and i hear the gentle [Gm]morning song
of the [A]drunken girls and the [Dm]sweeetling thugs
[B]like a litany rec[Gm]ited for me
in the [A]dark aisles [Dm]of our street
[B]Uuuh [Gm]uuuh [Dm]uuuuhuuuhuuu[A]huuuu
[B]Uuuh [Gm]uuuh [Dm]uuuuhuuuhuuu[A]huuuu
[verse 2]
[B]the patter of [Gm]tiny feet could it [A]be
the final st[Dm]raw we've thrown on the [B]back
of the camel of [Gm]our youth
long in the [A]teeth, will i still [Dm]long for you
because [B]life is an endless place
or at [C]least it sometimes [Dm]seems that way
will we [B]die wearing perp[C]lexed faces
b[Dm]ooks of words still[B] left to say
[pre-chorus 2]
[B]the world isn't [C]waiting for [Dm]us any[B]more
not like [Dm]when we were [C]young
[B]the world isn't [C]waiting for [Dm]us but it wh[A]ispers softly through the door
[chorus 2]
[B]i hear the gentle morn[Gm]ing song
like a [A]quiet reflection [Dm]of my soul
i [B]sang that song back when [Gm]i was young
and the [B]virgin earth stretched [Gm]on and on
[B]and i hear the gentle [Gm]morning song
of the [A]drunken girls and the [Dm]sweeetling thugs
like a [B]litany rec[Gm]ited for me
in the [A]dark church [Dm]of our street
[B]Uuuh [Gm]uuuh [Dm]uuuuhuuuhuuu[A]huuuu
[B]Uuuh [Gm]uuuh [Dm]uuuuhuuuhuuu[A]huuuu
[B]Uuuh [Gm]uuuh [Dm]uuuuhuuuhuuu[A]huuuu
