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