[Verse]
G
Every day at sunrise, I’ve got to
Em
Empty my pockets, I’ve got four
D
cups of coffee
C
and these empty sockets
G
and the dreams I have soaked in the loom
Em
In the air around my bedroom
D
I think about the rising sun
C
And the day to come and I wonder
G Em
Where you went, where you went
D
Are you wide awake?
C
Did you read all the letters that I sent?
G
Are you fast asleep?
Em D C
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?
[Chorus]
G Em
Till all the walls fall we’ll just keep being strangers
D
As the world rearranges
C
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green
G
And the sunrise is a welcome thing
Em
But I wish it was more welcoming
D
‘Cause this life has such an awful sting
C
And a price to pay for everything
[Verse]
And every day they say, just get away
They say, just get back up
They say, stand tough you’ve got to keep it up
You’ve got to learn to play rough
You’ve got to run through a field on a sunlit day
Laugh it off and sleep at night
But I don’t care, I just don’t care
‘Cause if you’re not here there’s no one to laugh at the jokes we share
Are you fast asleep?
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep?
[Chorus]
Till all the walls fall we’ll just keep being strangers
As the world rearranges
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green
And the sunrise is a welcome thing
But I wish it was more welcoming
‘Cause this life has such an awful sting
And a price to pay for everything
[Bridge]
Em C
I saw you last night in the cell where I sleep
G D
And your shyness was such a surprise
Em C
And you said, I hold you in me like a secret I keep
G D
And the truth of that moment defies all that we know
Em C G D
Where we go
[Chorus]
So I think till all the walls fall,
I’ll just keep getting stranger
The world will rearrange her
Into something just as beautiful
I know that I won’t know you then
But I see no reason to pretend
‘Cause I love you now and I’ll love you then
And the sun will shine on everything
[Chorus]
So I think till all the walls fall,
I’ll just keep getting stranger
The world will rearrange her
Into something just as beautiful
I know that I won’t know you then
But I see no reason to pretend
‘Cause I love you now and I’ll love you then
And the sun will shine on everything
