Lyrics

Intro: f/c c, eb/bb bb, bb/f f

F c/e dm7 f7/c
For the life we chose in the evening we rose

Bbmaj9 a7 a7/c# dm7 f6/c f6
Just long enough to be lovers again

Bb f/a gm7 gm7/c
And for nothing more, the world was too sore

F eb/f f
To live in

Sad old ships
A morning eclipse
I spent my whole life guessing
Then I turned from the sun
And saw everyone
Searching

F bb
The hoot owl and his song, will bring you along

F/c c eb/bb bb bb/f f
Where else on earth would you wanna go?

F bb
We can leave all this hate, before it's too late

F/c c eb/bb bb bb/f f
Why would we wanna come back at all?

Cobwebs on my pillow
I'm found in the willow
I'd spend my whole life sleeping
To be called by noon
Is to be called too soon
Today

The storm is passed
There is peace at last
I'll spend my whole life sleeping
Now there's not a sound
No one to be found
Anywhere

The shepherd and his sheep
Will wind you to sleep
Where else on earth would you wanna go ?
To a land of wonder
When you go under
Why would we want to come back at all ?

Coda: f eb/f f7
