B
a coward this morning
F#
black after backing away
B
and no explanation
F#
could ever explain it away
E
but could your bones be so bright?
F#
and would it all be all right
E
if you layed them tonight
Gm# F# E
with me, safe beside
the thing about lifetimes
is sometimes you have to be cruel
it's sad that it's sad
but don't let that dampen you
no, to live you must die
yes and more than one time
you must kiss it goodbye
and never go back to that life
your arms can be magic
it all can be magic you know
you all ways can have it
but not like you wanted i know
there is only one way
it's the onliest way
you must give it away
i mean give. it all. away.
F#
your hands have fingers and fingers are muscles
Gm#
and muscles they pull and pulling they told you how
C# B F# E
someone once told me we'd always be pulling along
Aw, Aw, Aw... etc.
