We Almost Made It

Intro: 
G   Am7   F    C 
G   Am7   F    C 


 
G         Am7       F 
   Like a new moon rising 
 F    C  G 
From now on 
       Am7            F 
I will lean into the reason of 
     C               G 
The seasons as they come 

            Am7     F 
There'll be no surprises 
 F   C     G    Am7   F   F 
Now she's gone 
 

 
Dm7        C             G 
    And we almost made it 
            C          F 
But it was clear all along 
         C          G 
All the truth I tasted 
         C          F 
Was only ever in a song 
         C         G 
All the time I wasted 
       Am7                  Dm7 
In the hope that I would belong

             Am7            F 
There was a white pheasant sighted 
 F   C   G 
Off the coast 
   Am7               F 
It came close then abided 
          C                  G 
With the things that I love most 
     Am7            F 
And there, I was invited 
   C        G    Am7   F   F 
A heavenly host 
 

 
Dm7        C             G 
    And we almost made it 
            C          F 
But it was clear all along 
         C          G 
All the truth I tasted 
         C          F 
Was only ever in a song 
         C         G 
All the time I wasted 
       Am7                  Dm7 
In the hope that I would belong

Break: 
                Em7              G   C   Am7 
I know when the heartache started 
                  Em7          G  C 
That was when the hope departed 
Am7                Em7 
  Somewhere in the wilting weeds 
         G                C   C 
She was right there all along

       Am7             F 
From a ship out on the water 
   F     C    G 
I heard your call 
       Am7           F 
Like a siren singing softly 
      C              G 
It resounded in the law 
           Am7              F 
And when I crashed on your rocks 
                    C     G   Am7   F   F 
It was the best story of all 
 

 
Dm        C           G 
   And we almost made it 
            C          F 
And it was clear all along 
         C           G 
All the truth we tasted 
         C          F 
Was only ever in a song 
         C          G 
All the time we wasted 
       Am7                   Dm7 
In the hope that we would belong
