Intro
F A#
[Verse 1]
F
She said look at the moon,
F
It's like a fingernail clipping
A#
A# sliver of light in the cold black sky
F A#
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried
F
As the sun came up over the jagged skyline,
A#
The silence amplified our beating hearts
F A#
And I didn't answer when she asked why
[Chorus 1]
Gm
One life to live
Many paths to take
A#
One twists and turns and falls away
F
And flowers bloom in brilliant light
And fade away into the night
Gm
So much to lose
Or so it seems
A#
These idle games and children's dreams
F
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
Gm
I just keep moving on into the unknown
[Post-Chorus]
F A#
[Verse 2]
F
And I go walking alone near the St. Augustine bell
A#
And thinking about you since you went away
F A#
We used to sit here and watch as the shadows played
F
And if I try real hard, I can remember that sound
A#
Ringing out just like a clarion
F A#
Echoing off of the wall of the dark arcade
[Chorus 2]
Gm
One life to live
Many paths to take
A#
One twists and turns and falls away
F
And flowers bloom in brilliant light
And fade away into the night
Gm
So much to lose
Or so it seems
A#
These idle games and children's dreams
F
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
Gm
I just keep moving on into the unknown
[Solo Сhords]
Dm F C
[Verse 3]
Dm
You know being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
A#
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
F C
I walk like I know where to go on a Friday night
Dm
And the city streets are the fangs of a beast
A#
Yeah it's always tired, but it never sleeps
F
I cry with the silence, dance with the freaks
C Gm A#
Come on, I'm getting on into the unknown.
[Outro]
