F# D#m F A#m
[verse 1]
F# D#m
The patter of breaking glass
F A#m F#
invades like gentle rain and a dog
D#m
barks somewhere in Gleadless
F A#m
i'm in a safe yet frightening dream again
F# D#m
and the night is an endless place
F A#m
but it ends so sweetly at your face
G D#m
this bed is made of energy
F A#m
it's the strangest kingdom where we sleep
[pre-chorus 1]
F# G# A#m F#
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
A#m G#
not like when we were young
F# G# A#m F
the kids are asleep while the kids in the park
F
are happy burning cars
[chorus 1]
F# D#m
and i hear the gentle morning song
F A#m
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
F# D#m
like a litany recited for me
F A#m
in the dark aisles of our street
F# D#m A#m F
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
F# D#m A#m F
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
[verse 2]
F# D#m F
the patter of tiny feet could it be
A#m F#
the final straw we've thrown on the back
D#m
of the camel of our youth
F A#m
long in the teeth, will i still long for you
F#
because life is an endless place
G# A#m
or at least it sometimes seems that way
F# G#
will we die wearing perplexed faces
A#m F#
books of words still left to say
[pre-chorus 2]
F# G# A#m F#
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
A#m G#
not like when we were young
F# G# A#m F
the world isn't waiting for us but it whispers softly through the door
[chorus 2]
F# D#m
i hear the gentle morning song
F A#m
like a quiet reflection of my soul
G D#m
i sang that song back when i was young
F# D#m
and the virgin earth stretched on and on
F# D#m
and i hear the gentle morning song
F A#m
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
F# D#m
like a litany recited for me
F A#m
in the dark church of our street
F# D#m A#m F
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
F# D#m A#m F
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
F# D#m A#m F
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
F# D#m A#m F
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
