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