Verse 1
(C major) (C minor) (G major) (Dsus4) (A minor) (D major) (G major) Hope
dies,
withered (B major) on the vine
Cold (E minor) before its time
Water (G major) into brine and dreams (C major) die
Wait (C minor) ing to be fed (C major)
(Dsus4) Long before they're (E minor) wet to (A major) life
(D major) So here we (G major) are
Two ships (Bsus4) without (B major) a sail
No (E minor) rudder for the gale wind (G major) s
Or the tail spins, I (C major) miss you
Even when you're near (C minor)
You're (Dsus4) leaving, (G major) pouring out like (C sharpdim) tears
If (Dsus4) dreams die before we give them life
Why (D major) should love sur (G major) vive? (Dsus4)
(D major) Hope (G major) tries
First (Bsus4) you're holding hand (B major) s
Then (E minor) dreams become demands
And (G major) passion turns to plans
And love (C major) tries
Blinded (C minor) by a tooth
(A minor) to (G major) turn it (E minor) s anger into truth (A major)
So (D major) here we (G major) are,
two ships (Bsus4) upon the land
(B major) No (E minor) anchor for the sand dunes
(G major) When the earth moves, (C major) I miss you
Even when you're near,
(C minor) you're (G major) leaving
Pouring out like (C sharpdim) tears
If (Dsus4) hope tries to fight the test of time
(D major) Why can't you and (G major) I? (Dsus4) (D major)
(G major) Feed me, pluck (B major) me from the vines,
stop (E minor) the hands of time,
turn (G major) water into wine and seal (C major) me.
Treasure (C minor) every seed,
(C major) pleasure (Dsus4) (G major) in the (E minor) need
Be mine, (A major) (D major) here you (G major) are
My (Bsus4) comet in the sky
(B major) Afraid (E minor) to spin into it high
And (G major) burning as it flies
I'll (C major) miss you even when you're near
(F major) You're (G major) bleak,
ring -boring and like (C sharpdim) tears (A major)
(E minor) If (C sharpdim) (Dsus4) dreams die
(G major) Then why should (Dsus4) you and I
We were (D major) born to (G major) fly (Dsus4) (D major) (G major) (Dsus4)
We were born to (E flat major) fly
(F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
