Verse
D#m
I saw it for a second but then the light was fading
D#m
Sister morphine was my lady in waiting
G#m
Can I help it if I can’t help it now,
D#m
all the stories I tell myself
[Pre-chorus]
F# C# G#m D#m
What can I say to you all,
B F# C# C#sus4
it’s fair to say, no words will do
F# C# B G#m
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leaving
F# D#m G#m C#
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
F# C# B G#m
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
F# D#m G#m C#
cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss
G#m C# F#
Oh the happiest moment of my life,
G#m C# D#m
was the saddest moment of my life
D#m

[Verse 2]
D#m
Was in prison when my daddy died
D#m
They didn’t tell me for fear of suicide
G#m
Told me when I got outside,
D#m
I started using as soon as I was alone that night
[Pre-chorus]
F# C# G#m D#m
And I died and I went up straight to him
B F# C# C#sus4
He said where you been, my troubled son
[Chorus]
F# C# B G#m
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leaving
F# D#m G#m C#
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
F# C# B G#m
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
F# D#m G#m C#
cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss
G#m C# F#
Oh the happiest moment of my life,
G#m C# D#m
was the saddest moment of my life
[Bridge]
D#m B F# C#7/F
Oh my love can I just sit and hold your face.
B F# C#sus4 C#
We finally made it here but now the light is low.
[Chorus]
F# C# B G#m
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leaving
F# D#m G#m C#
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
F# C# B G#m
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
F# F#/F D#m G#m C#
Now I'm feeling kinda faded, I think I need to lay down
G#m7 G#sus4
Oh you almost saved me
C#
You almost saved me
F# B C#
You almost saved me nooooooooow
F# B C#
You almost saved me nooooooooow
F# B C#
You almost saved me nooooooooow
F# B C#
You almost saved me nooooooooow
F# C# B G#m
All this time we pledge allegiance to the tune of a thousand treasons
F# D#m G#m C#
One nation under something, under water, under mass incarceration
F# C# B G#m
In the age of feast and famine can we disrupt the social canon
F# D#m B C#
Let our children lead so we all believe, let us see the forest for the trees
[Outro]
D#m
