Am
Am
There were too many years
Under spells awry
F
As the fortune appears
Am
It begins to die
So I've come here to wait
F
For the end of it all
Am
Till I'm gone from here
F Am
I'm gone from here
Am F Am F Am
Am
Children of the grounds
Are making warring sounds
F
For those outside
Am
With no care for time
F Am
They're full of love for life
Bm
Mother calling out
To bring the end around
F#m
We weren't quite done
G Bm
She blames it on the sun
Bm
We're raised in a town
Where they jump on your back and sing
Leave an imprint on your shoulder blades
F#m
Wanna walk away
G Bm
We're not all the same in this town
We're raised in a town
Where they jump on your back like children
And they leave you none
F#m
They will leave you none
G Bm
And we're all undone in this town
G Bm
And we're all undone in this town
Bm
There were too many years
Under spells awry
G
As the fortune appears
Bm
It begins to die
So I've come here to wait
G
For the end of it all
Bm
Till I'm gone from here
G Bm
I'm gone from here
G Bm
Gone
G Bm
Gone
