F7+/C
You spoke and that's how it came to be

And the dust was descending
F7+/C
It gathered patiently
C
on the chairs and tables
F7+/C
the rooftops overhead
C
The things we should have done
F7+/C
The things we should have said
Am
The dust on surrender
G6
just gathers patiently
F7+/C
and I was your witness

and that's how it came to be

There goes the distance between us
F7+/C
it grows but we don't say a thing

say "how was your breakfast?
F7+/C
did it taste like anything?"

and my senses have left me
F7+/C
left me to myself
C
and I take my rest upon

way up on the highest shelf
Am
The dust on surrender
G6
just gathers patiently
F7+/C
and I was your witness
G6
and that's how it came to be
