all the stories I tell myself

it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
D# A# G# Fm
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle

cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss
Fm A# D#
Oh the happiest moment of my life,

was the saddest moment of my life
