[Intro]
F#m C#7 A E
I dont know the real from what I thought I saw
F#m C#7 A E
I can't remember where I went Where I was
[Instrumental]
F#m Bm A E F#m x2
[Verse]
F#m Bm A E D
I'm gonna move toward a point in time
F#m Bm A E D
Where where you are is a state of mind
Bm A E F#m
And anytime I can read your thoughts
Bm A E F#m
Some of them yours and some I thought up
F#m E Dmaj7
There's no good reason for heartbreak
F#m E Dmaj7
Nothing's repeating every Monday
F#m Bm A Dmaj7
It's no good saying you'll always be mine
F#m Bm A Dmaj7
These jokes life's playing they make me so tired, so tired...
[Solo]
F#m Bm A Dmaj7 x2
[Chorus]
F#m C#7 A E
It's already too much to always seen you off
F#m C#7 A E
The sense that hours go back is enough
F#m Bm A E F#m x2
[Verse]
F#m Bm A E D
I like to fade when I write this line
F#m Bm A E D
There's every reason to paint a decline
Bm A E F#m
And every mile I walk is five
Bm A E F#m
I'll get where I'm going in the next life
F#m E Dmaj7
And all the while there's a false face
F#m E Dmaj7
This every killing is left untraced
F#m Bm A Dmaj7
This kind of falling saved my son
F#m Bm A Dmaj7
This constant longing for what's gone
