Tom: E
E A
[Verse 1]
E
She said look at the moon,
E
It's like a fingernail clipping
A
A sliver of light in the cold black sky
E A
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried
E
As the sun came up over the jagged skyline,
A
The silence amplified our beating hearts
E A
And I didn't answer when she asked why
[Chorus 1]
F#m
One life to live
Many paths to take
A
One twists and turns and falls away
E
And flowers bloom in brilliant light
And fade away into the night
F#m
So much to lose
Or so it seems
A
These idle games and children's dreams
E
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
F#m
I just keep moving on into the unknown
[Post-Chorus]
E A
[Verse 2]
E
And I go walking alone near the St. Augustine bell
A
And thinking about you since you went away
E A
We used to sit here and watch as the shadows played
E
And if I try real hard, I can remember that sound
A
Ringing out just like a clarion
E A
Echoing off of the wall of the dark arcade
[Chorus 2]
F#m
One life to live
Many paths to take
A
One twists and turns and falls away
E
And flowers bloom in brilliant light
And fade away into the night
F#m
So much to lose
Or so it seems
A
These idle games and children's dreams
E
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
F#m
I just keep moving on into the unknown
[Solo Сhords]
C#m E B
[Verse 3]
C#m
You know being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
A
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
E B
I walk like I know where to go on a Friday night
C#m
And the city streets are the fangs of a beast
A
Yeah it's always tired, but it never sleeps
E
I cry with the silence, dance with the freaks
B F#m A
Come on, I'm getting on into the unknown.
