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]
Em
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
Em
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
Em
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]
Em
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
Em
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
Em
I just keep moving on into the unknown
[Solo Сhords]
Bm D A
[Verse 3]
Bm
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
Bm
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 Em G
Come on, I'm getting on into the unknown.
[Outro]
