[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D G D
Tell me the truth, don't ask me to lie.
D Bm G A
These are the things we say.
D G D
You don't need proof and I'm not going to try,
D Bm G
But I think we have lost our way.
D Bm G D
You don't own the sun and I can't raise the moon,
D Bm G
So now as the darkness falls,
D Bm G D
Love is so hard won, then over too soon.
D Bm G
Another cruel ending calls.
[Chorus]
G D Bm G
All I can do is turn now to you,
G D F#m
Holding my hand to my heart.
G D Bm G
All that I know is I'm watching us grow,
G A D
Closer and closer apart.
[Verse 2]
D G D
And now all the kings horses and all the kings men
D Bm G
Wait for their clarion call,
D G D
Pride hears its voices, and fear wins again,
D Bm G
And there's nothing to break our fall.
[Chorus]
G D Bm G
All I can do is turn now to you,
G D F#m
Holding my hand to my heart.
G D Bm G
All that I know is I'm watching us grow,
G A D
Closer and closer apart.
G A D
Closer and closer apart.
[Bridge]
Bm F#m G D
Over and over and over again,
G D A
The world only spins one way.
Bm F#m G F#m
The past is a distant flicker by now,
G A
And a lesson for another day.
[Verse 3]
D G D
Now, my sad little boat floats on out to sea
