Let's try to make the most of this

I'll ask this once: my last request

I count the times that you recede

F# B G#m D#m
Mend your words down side to side
F# B G#m D#m
Stutter step, defeat revised
G#m F# E B (X2)
G#m F# E B
When your words spill out in rust
G#m F# E B
They billow out and rise in dust
G#m F# E B
So start ahead now while you can
G#m F# E G#m
And someone will take you with silver hands

Waltz in form on down the aisle
F# B G#m D#m
With perfect pace and in single file
G#m F# E B (X2)
G#m F# E B
With patterned plans to mend your streets

They rise in form beneath your feet

Our darkest days are gone for now
