[Verse 1]
Bm Gmaj7 Bm
Sitting here with my friend, there’s nothing I can do
Gmaj7 A Bm
Morphine floats him silently away.
A Bm
He’s talking to somebody, who comes from another day
Gmaj7 A Bm A Bm
As he drifts along through the shadows, in a medicated haze
[Verse 2]
Bm Gmaj7 Bm
Falling through the blackness, down to the crystal sea
Gmaj7 A Bm
Ruthlessly that cancer claws away
A Bm
Jagged edge of fire and ice, waste away his soul
Gmaj7 A Bm A Bm
This drum is for many players, you can’t go it on your own.
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Bm
There are no easy answers, candles burn brightly from both ends.
A Bm
B man’s shadow hovers in the embers of his flame
Gmaj7 A Bm Bm7
Hunkered down in a corner, evil wears an innocent disguise
Gmaj7 A Bm A Bm
But the truth is never lost my friend, no matter how sweet the lie.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Bm Gmaj7 Bm
Out there on the floor, there is ample room to dance
Gmaj7 A Bm
Love tiptoes like velvet and sweeps away the black
A Bm
Swirling him around love soothes the fear inside
Gmaj7 A Bm A Bm
Unknown road he travels on floating on an unseen tide.
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Bm
There are no easy answers, candles burn brightly from both ends.
A Bm
B man’s shadow hovers in the embers of his flame
Gmaj7 A Bm Bm7
Hunkered down in a corner, evil wears an innocent disguise
Gmaj7 A Bm A Bm
But the truth is never lost my friend, no matter how sweet the lie.
