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]
Bm
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
Bm
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
Bm
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]
Bm
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
Bm
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
Bm
I just keep moving on into the unknown
[Solo Сhords]
F#m A E
[Verse 3]
F#m
You know being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
D
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
A E
I walk like I know where to go on a Friday night
F#m
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
E Bm D
Come on, I'm getting on into the unknown.
[Outro]
