D Gmaj7/D D11 Em/D (Play Twice)
[Verse 1]
D Gmaj13 D9
During the time of which I speak it was hard to turn the other cheek
Gmaj13 Asus A7
To the blows of insecurity
D Gmaj13 D9 G
Feeding the cancer of my intellect the blood of love soon neglected
D9 G Asus A7
Lay dying in the strength of it's impurity
[Chorus]
G E7/G#
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Asus A7 G
They've all gone and left each other in search of fairer weather
D G
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
A7sus A7 D A7/D D A7/D
To the slim chance of love's recovery.
[Verse 2]
D G D9
There I am in younger days, star gazing,
G D9 G Asus A7
Painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be
D G
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
D G
My compass, faith in love's perfection
D G Asus A7
I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen
G E7/G#
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Asus A7 G
Left each other one by one in search of fairer weather
D G
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
A7sus A7 D A7/D D A7/D
To the slim chance of love's recovery.
[Bridge]
A Asus A Asus C9
Rain soaked and voice choked like silent screaming in a dream
D Bm/D Bm/E7
I search for our absolute distinction
A Asus A Asus
Not content to bow and bend
C9
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures
D Bm/D
Eating us away, eating us away
G Asus A
Eating us away to our extinction
[Verse 3]
D Gmaj13 D9 G
Oh how I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me
D9 G Asus A7
I'd still have two of the same to live
D Gmaj13 D9 G
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal, as specks of dust we're universal
D9 G Asus A7
To let this love survive would be the greatest gift we could give
G E7/G#
Tell all the friends who think they're so together
Asus A7 G
That these are ghosts and mirages, these thoughts of fairer weather
D G A7sus A7
Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms
D Em/D D Em/D D
of love's discovery
