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