Intro 1
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Thank God for
routines (A major) unbroken
(D major) And for (G major) open suburban park (A major) ing zones
(D major) Each (G major) December,
there's a (A major) pact unspoken
(B minor) I (E minor) leave my car (G major) and walk past
all the (D major) empty homes (A major)
To the (D major) two -story red (A major) brick with ver (D major) anda
It's been (G major) empty now for
(A major) three whole days (D major)
Each (G major) year, the doctor and
(A major) his wife Aman (B minor) da
They (E minor) take off (G major) to the (D major) coast
(G major) for their holidays (A major)
Is (D major) beauty merely (A major) (D major) a (G major) trick of the (D major) light?
Or (G major) was all the light merely for (A major) gery? (D major)
I (G major) wait in the park for the (A major) falling night
(B minor) I remem (G major) ber how it (D major) used to (A major) be
Just (G major) (D major) you and (A major) me
Drunk (E minor) (A major) on the promise of new music
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) Thank God they still
(A major) leave windows (D major) open
All the (G major) better to enter without (A major) a sound (D major)
They (G major) never count on intrusion
from (A major) some interloper (B minor)
The (E minor) one who once (G major) lived right here,
just prowling (D major) (A major) around
But (D major) I leave (A major) it all where I find (D major) it
Not (G major) one trace that I've (A major) been there at (D major) all
I'll (G major) need to be here just (A major) to be reminded
(B minor) If I (E minor) squint through the (G major) wine
and the streetlight I see it (A major) all
Was (D major) beauty merely a (G major) trick of the light? (D major)
(G major) Was all the life merely for (A major) gery? (D major)
In this (G major) bathroom you'd fuss
till your (A major) makeup was right (B minor)
And (G major) oh, such a sight you'd (D major) be
(A major) You'd (G major) smile (D major) at (A major) me
Drunk on the promise of
New Year's Eve (D major) (G major) (D major)
Now (E minor) you've (F major) gone and
changed your (G major) number
We (C major) never talk anymore,
(G major) you (E minor) were (D major) always a (G major) ship that moved largest
(D major) (G major) on (A major) my shore. (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
From here you see clear (A major) to the (D major) city
Post (E minor) (G major) -open plan conversion,
(A major) fine art (D major) on display
Me, (G major) I could drown in
the shame (A major) and self -pity (B minor)
The (E minor) fireworks are (G major) still burnin' bright
from five miles (A major) away
And their (D major) flash hits the fan (A major) on the (D major) ceiling
And I'll (G major) flash back through memories
of (A major) our time around (D major)
Sit (G major) tin' here in the same room
where (A major) your mind was sing (B minor) -a -leelin'
When you (E minor) came home (D major) early
An (G major) d you found (D major) what you (A major) found
I (D major) treated beauty as a (G major) trick of the (D major) light
And I (G major) treated the light as if (A major) forgery (D major)
Now (G major) I can't erase my deceit
(A major) from your (B minor) eyes
But you sure (G major) as hell did erase (D major) (A major) me
I (G major) fall to (D major) my (A major) knees, drunk on the promise of New Year's
Eve (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major)
(D major)
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) (A major) (D major)
Music
Mu (A major) sic (D major) (A major) (D major) (B minor) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major)
Music you
