G# G#7 Fm D#5
G# G#sus4 G#
[Verse]
G# Fm
And so there were no higher mountains
D#5 G#
It's all in your hands
(Lick) Fm
Valley was a future sea
D#5 G#
And now sail is the plan
G# G#sus4 G# Fm
And in this travel with no journey
D#5 G#
I loose till I'm light
(Lick) Fm
Letting go of mind to have
D#5 G#
What I'm keeping now
[Chorus]
G# G#sus4 Fm C#sus2 D#5
And suddenly the day gets you down
Fm G# D#5
But this is not the end, no this is fine
[Verse]
Fm
We're still the tower's in the valley
D#5 G#
We're still winds down this dream
(Lick) Fm
Still we're in the light of day
D#5 G#
With our ghosts within
G# D#5* Fm C#sus2 D#5*
G# D#5* Fm G#* D#5
[Verse]
D#5 Fm
And there are many ways of sorrow
D#5 G#
For just stepping out
(Lick) Fm
Everyday a growlin' storm
D#5 G#
But they're kind somehow
G#sus4 G# Fm
Fall in love but keep on falling
D#5 G#
I held you for life
(Lick) Fm
But letting go of rope in hand
D#5 G#
There's just leaving now
[Chorus]
G# G#sus4 Fm C#sus2 D#5
And suddenly the day gets you down
Fm G# D#5
But this is not the end, no this is fine
[Verse]
Fm
Still we're biking, laughing in memories
D#5 G#
Still winds down the stream
(Lick) Fm
Still we're in the light of day
D#5 G#
With our ghosts within
G# D#5* Fm C#sus2 D#5*
G# D#5* Fm G#* D#5
[Verse]
D#5 Fm
And when there's no one on the bottom
D#5 G#
You got there alone
(Lick) Fm
Kicking up some dust to see
D#5 G#
Where a wind could blow
G#sus4 G# Fm
And all the ways to ride a lightning
D#5 G#
I've used up a few
(Lick) Fm
And I just want you to be safe
D#5 G#
As I thunder through
[Chorus]
G# G#sus4 Fm C#sus2 D#5
And suddenly the day gets you down
Fm G# D#5
But this is not the end, no this is fine
[Verse]
Fm
We're still are towers in the valley
D#5 G#
We're still winds down this dream
(Lick) Fm
Still we're in the light of day
D#5 G#
With our ghosts within
G# D#5* Fm C#sus2 D#5*
G# D#5* Fm G#* D#5
G#
G# C#5 G#sus4 G#5 G#5* C#5 G# D#5 G#
No this is not the end and no final tears
G#sus4 D#5 G# D#5 G#
That we need to show
G# C#5 G#sus4 G#5 G#5* C#5 G# D#5 G#
I thought that this would last for a million years
G#sus4 D#5
But now I need to go, oh, fuck
