E Am+C E B
E B
You're gone, the trees are so quiet
E
When your hand was in my pocket
Am
How they swayed from side to side
E B
Now the meddling sky and my snowy eye
Am
Sees a different night
E
Sees a different night
A E
The night I fell into the lion's jaws
Am E
To my regret and your delight
F E
Those teeth themselves could not divine
F E
Nor their pressure estimate
A
The haze I wish to never break
E B
And to never contemplate
E B Am
Momentum for the sake of momentum
E B Am
Momentum for the sake of momentum
E
Of momentum
