A#m
Ever since I was 16
F#
I wished that spring would come to me
G#
And I wished that I could dance upon the isles
A#m
Sweat rivers on a stage of steam
F#
I let my thoughts begin to dream
G# C#
I held my breath and ran into the wild
A#m
And each night a horizon grew
F#
In all of us or just a few
G#
Til morning's gold would make it disappear
A#m
Yet somewhere in my treasured chest
F#
Is not forgot what must forget
G# C#
But that's a feeling for another year
A#m
And movement has a way like words
F#
You're there before the rhyme is heard
C# G#
And all that one can do is shape the ride
A#m
The miles of a forgotten dream
F#
Are yours my love it's where we've been
G# C#
And maybe one day soon we will arrive
C# F# C#
Playing all night loud
F# C#
Playing all night loud
G# A#m F#
Sing it all night with me
G# C#
All night loud
A#m
And we went on a whirlwind trip
F#
The nights unwound the records flipped
G#
And stillness came like chaos in the lights
A#m
And voices like devotion flew
F#
Across the sea from me to you
G# C#
In music that I still cannot describe
A#m
And there were ugly times it's true
F#
Some from me and some from you
C# G#
And devils have a way of digging down
A#m
But a friend is not a friend for life
F#
Unless your life is worth the strife
G# C#
So hold on we'll be alright
C# F# C#
Playing all night loud
F# C#
Playing all night loud
G# A#m F#
Sing it all night with me
G# C#
All night loud
A#m
There's a speech that I know well
F#
Was told by Henry V I'll tell
G#
A version that relates to us not war
A#m
"He who sheds his sweat with me
F#
Will be my friend eternally
G# C#
From this day to the ending of the world!"
A#m
No matter if we're young or old
F#
Or in the sun or in the cold
C# G#
I hope I can remember your bright eyes
A#m
'Cos I know you and you know me
F#
At least somehow mysteriously
G# C#
So thank you my dear friends and that's goodnight
I'm much obliged
F#
I'm much obliged
G# C#
So thank you my dear friends and that's goodnight
I'm much obliged
F#
I'm much obliged
G# C#
So thank you my dear friends and that's goodnight
