G
Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes
G
Looking for a part of me that’s still alive
C G
Waiting for my chest to fall 'n rise
G
Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in
G
Summer turns to autumn winter turns to spring
C
And it all flies by
G
Like a speeding train
Em C
Dead wishes on a broken chain
Em C
White roses in a dead man’s dream
Em
Down and out
Am7+
With everything to lose
C
If these long dead wishes
G
Never do come true
G
Waiting for the night to come and chase away
G
All the flies hovering around my head
C
With my memories for a pillow
G
And all my regrets for a bed
G
Standing on the corner now I'm passed surprise
G
Yelling out a warning to some passer by
C
I stand just as god made me
G
And i lie down in disguise
Em C
Dead wishes on a burning lake
Em C
White roses for my soul to keep
Em Am7+
Diving down with everything to win
C
If my long since sunken ship
G
Ever does come in
Down and down we all fall down
And that's how ancient mountains crumble
C
Time keeps moving slower
D#
Like falling from the sun
G
Come and knock me over
C
I keep getting up
D#
Throw a line down to me
G
Keep hanging on
G
Standing on the corner don’t apologize
G
You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes
C
Or pretend that you don’t see me
Em C
Dead wishes on a broken chain
Em C
White roses in a dead man’s dream
Em
Down and out
Am7+
With everything to lose
C
If these long dead wishes
C
These long dead wishes
G
Ever do come true
Down and down we all fall down
And that's how ancient mountains crumble
