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]
Dm
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
Dm
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
Dm
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]
Dm
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
Dm
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
Dm
I just keep moving on into the unknown
[Solo Сhords]
Am C G
[Verse 3]
Am
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
Am
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 Dm F
Come on, I'm getting on into the unknown.
[Outro]
