Introduction:
Ab Bbm
Dark auditorium, half of the audience sleeps
Ab Bbm Ab
I am awake through every display of doubt turning the grave
Pre-Chorus
Gb Ab Bbm Ab
While you were watching the back of your eyelids
Bbm Fm Eb
I was awake
verse 2
Ab
Broken and battered and split like an atom
Bbm Ab
In debt to god, but what's it to you
Bbm
If somewhere a glass jewel breaks
Ab
And rings like a bell
Pre-Chorus
Gb Ab Bbm Ab
Are you bandaging feet or done with the Peace Corps?
Bbm Fm Eb
I couldn't tell
Chorus
Ab
Now I'm putting drinks away
Ab
Like a poet on payday
Gb
And I'm not toasting your name
E
Or your good health
verse 3
Ab
When twenty years of peace
Bbm
Fall under the roof of love
Ab
And every heart seems
Bbm
To beat like a broken drum
Chorus
Ab
Now I'm putting drinks away
Ab
Like a poet on payday
Gb
And I'm not toasting your name
Ab
Or your good health
Outro
Db
They say the thing about starts
Ab
Is you're risking them finishing
Db
And a line of love
Ab
Draws maps on your skin
Db
Well that's the about shoes
Ab
You know some of us live in them
Db
When it's too late to want love
Ab
I'll know where I've been
Db
They say the thing about starts
Ab
Is they're made out of finishes
Db
And a longing of love
Ab
Draws maps on your skin
Db
Well that's the about shoes
Ab
You know some of us live in them
Db
When it's too late to want love
Ab
I'll know where I've been
Bbm Fm Ab(x2)
I'll know where I've been
