Let's try to make the most of this
Gm F D# A#
I'll ask this once: my last request
Gm F D# A#
I count the times that you recede
Gm F D# Gm
I slip through hands and kiss your teeth
F A# Gm Dm
Mend your words down side to side
F A# Gm Dm
Stutter step, defeat revised
Gm F D# A# (X2)
Gm F D# A#
When your words spill out in rust
Gm F D# A#
They billow out and rise in dust
Gm F D# A#
So start ahead now while you can
Gm F D# Gm
And someone will take you with silver hands
F A# Gm Dm
Waltz in form on down the aisle
F A# Gm Dm
With perfect pace and in single file
Gm F D# A# (X2)
Gm F D# A#
With patterned plans to mend your streets
Gm F D# A#
They rise in form beneath your feet
Gm F D# A#
Our darkest days are gone for now
Gm F D# A#
We'll adorn our suits and our best gowns
Gm F D# A#
We'll adorn our suits and our best gowns
Gm F D# A# (X3)
