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