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