[Verse]
[E]The countless eyes dot[B]ted in the night sky
[E]I speak the language, o[B]r several hundred words.
[E]A cloudless day, and a [B]thunderous night.
[E]Among companions, I'll [B]carry my name.
[Chorus]
[F#]But the life we lead came gradually.
[B]Who keeps the time?
[F#]A bitter lime, will do us fine
[B]To kill the taste.
[Verse]
[E]We´ll turn deaf ears on [B]all that we don't wanna hear
[E]But a cause for travel has co[B]me again.
[E]At this early hour, I'll te[B]ll your wife a story
[E]She looks outside and dou[B]bles over laughing.
[Chorus]
[F#]Of the souls you loved, and a place you lived
[B]Those country houses.
[F#]And a change of heart tore us apart
[B]Oh, what a ride.
[B] [F#] [B] [F#]
[B]Every chance you have
[B]All the love and life
[B]All the joy and grace
Don't be absur[F#]d, don't you think it out
[F#]You know what thinking does
To love's shine, and love's li[B]ght.
[B]Now it's your every word
[B]Oh I'm hanging on
It feels right these d[F#]ays
[F#]I saw strange things
[F#]The lines of old faces
Up on the stormy sky, tonig[B]ht.
[E] [B] [E] [B]
[Verse]
[E]Now all the younger kids have go[B]ne away to sleep
[E]In the days to come, I'l[B]l do the same.
[E]At this early hour, I'll t[B]ell your wife a story
[E]She looks outside and dou[B]bles over laughing.
[Chorus]
[F#]The life we lead came gradually
[B]Who keeps the time?
[F#]Bitter lime, do us fine
[B]To kill the taste.
[E]The countless eyes dot[B]ted in the night sky
[E]I speak the language, o[B]r several hundred words.
[E]A cloudless day, and a [B]thunderous night.
