Intro
Am G F C
Let's try to make the most of this
Am G F C
I'll ask this once: my last request
Am G F C
I count the times that you recede
Am G F Am
I slip through hands and kiss your teeth
G C Am Em
Mend your words down side to side
G C Am Em
Stutter step, defeat revised
Am G F C
When your words spill out in rust
Am G F C
They billow out and rise in dust
Am G F C
So start ahead now while you can
Am G F Am
And someone will take you with silver hands
G C Am Em
Waltz in form on down the aisle
G C Am Em
With perfect pace and in single file
Am G F C
With patterned plans to mend your streets
Am G F C
They rise in form beneath your feet
Am G F C
Our darkest days are gone for now
Am G F C
We'll adorn our suits and our best gowns
Am G F C
We'll adorn our suits and our best gowns
