[Intro]
F Dm Am (x2)
[Verse]
F Dm Am C G F
Eyes open to the vacuous black in the dark of a windowless bedroom
Am C G F
The blurry unknown date and the smile across my face
Am G
Are singing out loud like a siren
[Chorus]
Am C Em
The sun shrank and scattered
F C G Am
The daylight fades away each time the same
C Em
None of this matters
F
If these few nights could stay
Am G Am F Am F G
I'd carry your words to my grave
[Verse]
F Dm Am
Redemption in a long morning road
C G F
A mirror to put past in gray and yellow
Am C G F
The love I harbored died; now I collect the open sky
Am G
I'm a calloused heart resurrected
[Chorus]
Am C Em
The sun shrank and scattered
F C G Am
The daylight fades away each time the same
C Em
None of this matters
F
If these few nights could stay
Am G F
I'd carry your words to my grave
G
I'd carry your words
[Bridge]
Am C G
The nights we reached the sky
Am C G
Still stay with me like the smile that I'd find
C G Am G F
When we kissed and I felt like I tasted the air for the first time
Am G C
I thought I could melt away
[Outro]
Am G F
A specter in the bareness of the day
Am G F
Like the fortune that this gambler would trade
Am G F
For one moment on a quiet winter Sunday
