C Am
Amid the pause in the wreckage came
G F
The peculiar light of a Saturday
C Am
Convictions formed in the ghost of you

But they fell apart, as they always do

When a firmer hand would serve you better
F C Am
Cos the streets you walk are unforgiving
G C
And a softer voice takes longer hearing
Instrumental - C Am G C

Your father said "Well there isn't much
G F
That you couldn't do with the right approach"

And a softer voice takes longer hearing

And all our hopes on this summer's day
