Verse 2
I went and looked (G major) her in the eye (B minor) s
And she turned me into sand (A minor)
This clumsy form that I despise
(C major) It scattered easy (D major) in her hand (G major)
Verse 3
And it came to rest (G major) upon a beach (B minor)
With a million others there (A minor)
We sat and waited for the sea
(C major) To stretch out so that we (D major) could disappear
Verse 4
(G major) Into the endlessness of blue (B minor)
Into the horror of the truth (A minor)
You see, (A major) we are far less
than (A minor) we knew (C major)
Yeah, we are far (D major) less than we knew
(E minor)
Verse 5
But we knew what we could taste (C major)
Girls found honey to drench our (E minor) hands
The men cut marble to mark our (B major) graves
Said we'll need something to remind (G major) us
Verse 6
Of (G major) all the sweetness that (B minor) has
passed through (B major) us
(Fresh sangria and (B minor) lem on tea)
The priest (B major) s dressed children for a (A major) choir
(E minor) (White-robed small voices praise Him)
Verse 7
But found no joy in what was (B major) sung
The fu (C major) neral had (D major) begun (G major) in
the middle of the day (B minor)
When you drive home to your place (A minor)
From that job that makes you sleep (C major)
Verse 8
Back to the thought (D major) s
that keep you awake (G major)
Long after night has come to claim (B minor)
Any light that still remain (A minor) s
In the corner of the frame (C major)
That you put (D major) around her face
(G major)
Verse 9
Two (B minor) pills just weren't enough
The alarm (A minor) clock is going off but
you are not waking up
This isn't hap (C major) pening,
happening happening
Happening, (D major) happening
