I’m ill with a fever, I feel like a child
I lay in the dark ‘til morning came.
It’s so unoriginal
And I [Em/B]feel it worse at night
I know it’s not terminal
But I’m near half-dead fright
And freezing cold.

But sooner than woke up
To find it all unchanged
I’ll sleep through the day til the daylight ends.
Cos it’s all so familiar
As it [Em/B]comes around again
The same taste to everything
The same unbroken chain
That still remains.

[Em/G]

With morning I rise,
A dream that won’t leave me,
You’re sad, naked and pale
And you’re reaching for the rail

You took a look inside, how could you peel away
Or break the shell, the hurt you’ve hidden so well

For all your days.

And you’re going down
As you [Em/B]slip beneath the waves,
Won’t make a sound
Won’t even leave a trace before you.

[D/A] [C/G] [Bb/F] [Am/E]


I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below
And it’s creeping fear congealed in stone
That paves the crazy road.
And all are succumbing and they [Em/B]look so hopelessly
At the heartbreak, it’s easy to deal with,
Just take these and you’ll really never feel it.

Bm G Bm G A G A D Bmsus4 …

There is no cage or prison, they have no fence too tall
You die more times than anyone and there’s still no place to fall
They’re never gonna keep it simple, this comes down from above
I have no helm, no secret realm, I dream to be at the heart of love, a part
of love

I bet you can conceal it, but that’s just a dead-end track
I’ll cover you like the driven snow, and then I’ll bring you back
You’ll see, you’ll feel like, you’ll feel like a banner, unfurled and gently
blown
And there before your opening eyes the self you’ve never known
They’re never gonna make it easy, of this you can be sure
You’ll feel untied, beatified, and loved forever more.

To my Mom and Dad…

[F#m/F#] [F#m/E] [F#m/D]
Something’s gotta give

We can’t carry on like this

One year on and more unsure

Where do we go from here?

Many nights and many days

I’ve spent with you

Talking about what we should do

I can’t say

Nothing’s clear to me no [F#m/F#]more[F#m/E][F#m/D]

One more sleepless night

Yet another wasted day

This song has no end

Too many words fill my mind

You gave so much too soon

D (ch)B#m(/ch) E F#m
No longer sure where you want to be

Turn around

See what you have [F#m/F#]found[F#m/E][F#m/D]

Let’s drink to absent friends

How they cared, and all they shared

We took our life to the edge

They still try to understand

Time is running out

You’re going down

Come on, let’s go wherever they may be

Make a choice
