Verse 1:
C
Reflecting from my deathbed
F
I'm balancing life's riches against the ditches
Fm C
and the flat gray years in between
G
All I can see are the never-laid
F C
That's the never-played symphonies
Verse 2:
C
I can't see those who tried to love me
All those who felt they understood me
F C
and I can't see those who very patiently put up with me
G
All I can see are the never-laid
F C
Or the never-played symphonies
C -> C7
Chorus:
F G
You were one, you meant to be one
E
and you jumped into my face and laughed
Am F G
and kissed me on the cheek and then were gone forever
C
...not quite
Verse 3:
C
Black sky in the daytime
and I don't much mind dying
F C
When there is nothing left to care for anymore
G F C
Just the never-laid, the never-played symphonies
Chorus:
F G
You were one, you knew you were one
E
and you slipped right thru my fingers
Am F
No not literally but metaphorically
G C
and now you're all I see as the light fades
