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