[Intro]
A#m F# C# C#
[Verse 1]
A#m F# C#
I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh Bar
A#m F# C#
Life hadn't treated him so well
A#m F# C#
A heart so cold and words so blue
A#m F# C#
In a body home from hell
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m F# C#
He said "If I could tell you one thing I would tell you this:
A#m F# C#
There's only one mistake that I have made
A#m F# C#
It's giving up the music in my fingertips
A#m F# C#
By trying to get to heaven through my veins."
[Chorus]
F# C#
All our lives
G# F# C#
I watch you search beneath the falling skies
G#
This was no path to glory
F# C#
You always walk before me
G#
But you came back to warn me
F# C# G#
All our lives
[Verse 2]
A#m F# C#
I saw this woman with tears in her eyes
A#m F# C#
Driving beside me yesterday
A#m F# C#
She turned her head then I turned mine
A#m F# C#
And I watched her drive away
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m F# C#
I thought "If I could tell her something I would tell her this:
A#m F# C#
There's only two mistakes that I have made
A#m F# C#
It's running from the people who could love me best
A#m F# C#
And trying to fix a world that I can't change."
[Chorus]
F# C#
All our lives
G# F# C#
I watch you search beneath the falling skies
G#
This was no path to glory
F# C#
You always walk before me
G#
But you came back to warn me
F# C# G#
All our lives
A#m G# F# F#
[Bridge]
A#m
I remember being young and staring at my hands
G#
In the middle of the night
F#
The first light of the morning
A#m
A room like a church, voices down the hall
G# F#
Barely made 'em out but sometimes you don't want to know
A#m
Now that I'm older I can tell you this
G# F#
The mornings I miss but I don't really miss the voices
A#m
You've got a choice, I've got the hands
G# F#
Skeleton and plans you've got to let them go
[Chorus]
F# C#
All our lives
G# F# C# G#
I watch you search beneath the falling skies
F# C#
All our lives
G# F# C#
I watch you search beneath the falling skies
G#
This was no path to glory
F# C#
You always walk before me
G#
But you came back to warn me
F# C# G#
All our lives
[Outro]
F# C#
All our lives
G# F# C#
I watch you search beneath the falling skies
G#
This was no path to glory
F# C#
You always walk before me
G#
But you came back to warn me
F# C# G#
All our lives
F# C# G# G#
