Verse 1: C Reflecting from my deathbed F I'm balancing life's riches against the ditches FmC and the flat gray years in between G All I can see are the never-laid FC That's the never-played symphonies
Verse 2: C I can't see those who tried to love me All those who felt they understood me FC and I can't see those who very patiently put up with me G All I can see are the never-laid FC Or the never-played symphonies
C -> C7 Chorus: FG You were one, you meant to be one E and you jumped into my face and laughed AmFG and kissed me on the cheek and then were gone forever C ...not quite
Verse 3: C Black sky in the daytime and I don't much mind dying FC When there is nothing left to care for anymore GFC Just the never-laid, the never-played symphonies
Chorus: FG You were one, you knew you were one E and you slipped right thru my fingers AmF No not literally but metaphorically GC and now you're all I see as the light fades
