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