All is quiet.
F#9 (voicings : G#-A#-E)
His tired eyes
Bsus4 B Bmin B Bmin Bsus2 Bmin
See figures jotted down. And clothes all strewn around the
A (E in bass) Amin9(E in bass) C+ (F# in bass) Cmin+5 (F# in bass)
Bedroom floor.
Verse 2: Repeat chords
Now nothing?s adding up.
And nothing?s making sense.
She?s sleeping like a baby.
She doesn?t know he wasn?t meant for this.
Chorus:
Amaj7 Amin (C in bass)

All night.

He drove home again.
Pissed and beaten.
It?s really no big deal
It happens all the time
It?s no big deal.
Chorus.
End chorus with:
F# G G(D in bass) G E F#min G#min
?Till beads of sunlight hit me in the morning.
C# B E D A Amin9 E F# A Amin9

Verse 3:
Time may fly.
And dreams may die.
The shaking voice that tells him go
still thinks he might
he knows he wont.
Chorus

G G (D in bass) G E F#min G#min
