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