[Intro]

[Verse]
E A E
Temperamental tools don’t disappoint me as I look ahead,
A E
a 5:30 skyline and a sinking sense of dread,
A
this bridge has become more symbolic in my dreams,
E A
my apocalyptic imagination guides me to the scene,
E A
and I’m not as lost as I hoped I’d be,
E A
an unconscious sense of direction is guiding me,
E A
but it’s clear that I’m here for a very different reason,
E A
I refused to queue up, yet they parade their expertise and I’m sold.
[Chorus]
C#m A E
Last night I woke up terrified,
G# C#m
blue lights were floating around my walls,
A E G# C#m
only to later realise, it’s just an ambulance on a late night call,
A E G# C#m
a grim 2 a.m. reminder of my own mortality,
A E G# A
I only wish that I could find a way to accurately describe,
B
the effect that this has on me.
[Verse]
E A E A
E A
A canopy of comfort crumbles, helplessly I watch,
E A
I'm soaked but I’m not drowning, I’m enamoured to this porch,
E A
your company is warmth enough we talk the night away,
E A
a towel and some kind words keeping me afloat today,
E A
and when I’m like this I can’t cope with myself,
E A
and I realise that this is probably hell,
E A
and I apologise, oh how I do,
E A C#m
I’m just thankful that you’re prepared to soldier through to the end.
[Chorus]
C#m A E
Last night I woke up terrified,
G# C#m
blue lights were floating around my walls,
A E G# C#m
only to later realise, it’s just an ambulance on a late night call,
A E G# C#m
a grim 2 a.m. reminder of my own mortality,
A E G# A
I only wish that I could find a way to accurately describe,
B
the effect that this has on me.
[Bridge]
C#m A E G# C#m A E G# A B
E B
I take a walk down by the river,
C#m A
but the night before it breached its banks,
E B C#m
and now the path’s absolutely covered with branches and leaves,
A E
and I can barely get past and I’m in heaven,
B C#m A
I’m in heaven, this is the best thing I have ever seen,
E B
I see no concrete, see no buildings,
C#m A
it’s like I’m walking through a dream,
E B C#m A
Like the darkness of closed eyes on an August afternoon x4
[Outro]
