Key: A minor
Verse 1
Am
C
Am
And we were just a child with
Am
C
G
And we were running wild,
F
Am
C
G
F
no thoughts for what we'd break
Am
C
G
But gone are all the days,
F
Am
C
G
F
gone are all the days
Am
C
G
And once we learn to hide,
F
Am
C
G
F
our size did keep us safe
Am
C
G
The sidewalk cracks were wide,
F
Am
C
G
F
but to jump them made us brave
G
Em
But then the darkness came- a creeping
G
C
G
F
G
Em
Am
over every place
F
G
Em
C
Over time we took to sleeping,
G
C
Dm
F
G
Em
Am
and let the weeds take over this place
F
G
Em
Well, how about the backyard,
G
F
sons and daughters
Am
C
G
F
The bones, I'm told, they hold the place up,
Am
C
G
F
so why crack them away
Am
C
The rocks we shake,
G
F
Am
C
G
F
and everything we take and still think will be ok
Am
C
G
But gone are all the days,
F
Am
C
G
F
gone are all the days
Verse 2
Am
C
G
F
Well, the limbs outside this house are dignified
Am
C
by the forces uncontained
G
F
Am
C
G
F
And how we survive when the whales run dry,
Am
C
G
F
now their muscle does remain
G
Em
For when we rode the thunder
G
C
G
F
G
Em
Am
steely faced
F
G
Em
G
C
And we kicked our heels in
Dm
F
G
Em
to the belly of the chase
Am
F
G
Em
C
F
C
G
So be comes a garden soft and embracing to a hungry,
C
F
hollow taste
Am
C
G
F
If we keep building fires and
Am
C
G
F
fanning up the flames
Am
C
F
Even the waters from our eye
C
F
s will end up down at that place
Am
C
G
But gone are all the days,
F
Am
C
G
gone are all the days
F
Am
C
Am
F
Still every morning's light and
Am
C
Am
F
all the day it stays
Am
C
Am
F
Until it turns to night and then
Am
C
Am
F
the future's on its way
Em
G
Em
C
And the future's never gonna lay down,
G
C
Em
C
Am
it won't lay down its face
F
G
C
Hold that shoulder strong and carry it along,
F
C
G
C
F
and steady it with grace
