Tom: Ebm
D#m F#maj7
I reminisce to days In Montreal
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
Elementary, gray consumes the wall
D#m F#maj7
If I had died, I thought of what I'd say
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
My eyes are going anyway
[Instrumental]
(chords for this part are same as the verse:)
D#m F#maj7
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
D#m F#maj7
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
[Verse 2]
D#m F#maj7
I played the music just to play pretend
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
Visit cinemas, see the film again
D#m F#maj7
I'd talk to someone, but he passed away
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
My eyes are going anyway
[Chorus 1]
B N.C. F#
And the keys would play my song
A#7 B
But I'd start it early on
F# A#7
After all the smoke had gone
B N.C. F#
And the fabric used to mend
A#7 B
Father, make me who I am
A# A#7
Maybe God will save me then, oh
[Verse 3]
D#m F#maj7
So when I saw her break the distances
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
I would move for her, faking happiness
D#m F#maj7
I've found another one who said she'd stay
Bmaj7 F# G#m7 A#
My eyes are going anyway
[Chorus 2]
B N.C. F#
Now the blue surrounds my skin
A#7 B
What a place I'm living in
F# A#7
Make the verses on a whim
B N.C. F#
And six years to be proud
A#7 B
Seven more to speak aloud
A#m A#7
Melodies to break me out, oh
[Verse 4]
D#m F#maj7
The bus can take me from my neighborhood
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
If I had the years, then I surely would
D#m F#maj7
Because I'd master what was loved today
Bmaj7 F# G#m7 A#7
My eyes are going anyway
[Outro]
D#m F#maj7
I saw my friends, the date of 50 years
Bmaj7 F# G#m A#7
Started from the soul, and reduced to tears
D#m F#maj7
What used to flourish now is turned to grey
C# B
My eyes have gone away
