[Intro]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Am7 G
[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
For once in your life, would you come out of your house
Am7 G Fmaj7
I’ve been waiting long to see you understand
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Your eyes are turning white, you have grown without the light
Am7 G Fmaj7
But your garden can’t keep up without your hand
G C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
So give up your hand
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
For once in your life, just pretend that it’s alright
Am7 G Fmaj7
If you spill your glass we’ll get another round
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Your fears are all predictions but reality is fiction
Am7 G Fmaj7
Trees don’t fall when no one is around
G C C G G
So don’t stick around
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
For once in your life, would you sing along my lines
Am7 G Fmaj7
And remind me why we ever tried at all
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Your senses in submission, you can ask but never listen
Am7 G Fmaj7
Only one of us is stuck behind a wall
G C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
So go climb the wall
[Verse 3]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
For once in my life, I would open up that shrine
Am7 G Fmaj7
But I threw the key away along your lies
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You ask me to try, but a poetry kinda guy
Am7 G Fmaj7
You need but I don’t need no surprise
G C C G G
So I’m not surprised
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
For once in my life, just for once I realize
Am7 G Fmaj7
The ship I sail was only built for one
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
I ask you to try, when I ask you not to cry
Am7 G Fmaj7
Sing “Take me to a place she’ll never find”
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
I head for the wind, I forget about your sins
Am7 G Fmaj7
There’s nothing else we ever could have done
G C
So let us be done
Fmaj7 C
Let us be done
Fmaj7 C Fmaj C
Let us be done
