[Intro]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Cadd9
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G
I'm lost on an evening tide
Cadd9
A red ocean into a northern sky
G Cadd9
And the deep water moves like grey ribbons on a wind
Cadd9 G
I've always seen the beauty in it
Cadd9
It's a slow change, it's hard to recognize it
G
And the myths of the modern age always darken the door
D/F# Em7
Always the door!
[Chorus]
D/F# Cadd9 G Em7
Cause the light that shone, but we were living in the dark
D/F# Cadd9 G Em7
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
D/F# Cadd9 G Em7
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
D/F# Cadd9 G Cadd9
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
G
We were living in a dream
[Instrumental]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Cadd9
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G
See I don't wanna let her down
It's a fear in the dark
Cadd9
I want to be around to see my daughter grow older
G Cadd9
in a world that still has some beauty
Cadd9 G
It's a siren on a midnight street
Cadd9
When no one's listening, it's hard to compete
G
For each man's meaning is as large as the world he's living in
D/F# Em7
The world he's living in!
[Chorus]
D/F# Cadd9 G Em7
Cause the light that shone, but we were living in the dark
D/F# Cadd9 G Em7
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
