D Dmaj7

Did you expect it all to stop

G A

at the wave of your hand?

D Dmaj7

Like the sun is just going to drop

G A

if it’s night you demand.

D Dmaj7

Well, in the dark we are just air

G A

so the house might dissolve.

D Dmaj7

But once we are gone, who is gonna care

G A

if we were ever here at all?

G

Well, summer is going to come

A Dmaj7

and it’s gonna cloud our eyes again.

There is not need to focus

G A

when there is nothing that it worth seeing.

D Dmaj7

So we trade liquor for blood

G A

in an attempt to tip the scales.

D Dmaj7

I think you lost what you loved

G A

in that mess of details.

D Dmaj7

They seemed so important at the time

G A

but now you can’t even recall

D Dmaj7

any of the names, faces, or lines.

G A

It is more the feeling of it all.

G

Well, winter is going to end and

A

I’m going to clean these veins again.

Dmaj7 G

So close to dying that I finally can

A

start living.
