A# D# A#
[Verse 1]
A# D# A#
See that shoreline
A# D# A#
At the end of the line
A# D# A#
Holding the ocean
A# D# A#
Hostage again
{Pre Chorus}
Ab D#
Oh how much does she want this time
Ab D#
Can we ever get her to change her mind?
A# D# A#
Don’t feign your affection
A# D# A#
Don’t hide your gloom
A# D# A#
Be good to your sister
A# D# A#
And your half brother too
Ab D#
One day they’ll be gone with all your friends
Ab D#
They’ll be no one left to hear you then
[Chorus]
F
In the morning
F# F Ab F
With the sun in the dew
F
In the morning
F# F Ab F
Just like tears made of glue
F F# F Ab F F7
Holding all the world in place just for you
[Verse 2]
A# D# A#
Just let it go
A# D# A#
The sun shines in vain
A# D# A#
Make-believe for a little while
A# D# A#
But don’t get carried away
[Pre Chorus]
Ab D#
I’ve never been much of a salesman
Ab D#
I don’t know how to make you pay attention
[Chorus]
F
Maybe one day
F# F Ab F
All alone in the yard
F
Maybe one day
F# F Ab F
Slip a note past the guard
F
He’s a half-wit
F# F Ab F F7
But he’s trying so hard
[Verse 3]
A# D# A#
To be all that you wanted
A# D# A#
To have nothing but fame
A# D# A#
But it’s piled up into something
A# D# A#
That’s impossible to face
[Pre Chorus]
Ab D#
And now you’re trapped here forevermore
Ab D#
Heat on the hand of sins that’s far behind the door
[Chorus]
F
Break your back
F# F Ab F
Carry your love into town
F F# F Ab F
Maybe that’s what they meant when they said “settle down”
F F# F Ab F F7
Making maps of all the cracks in the ground
