Intro A  C#m  F#m  Dº  F 

            Bm7                 F#m7 
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion 
            Bm7                      F#m7 
But I don't need the comfort of any lies 
           Bm7                           F#m7         A   Fmaj7(5+) 
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending rise 

             Bm7                         F#m7 
Oh back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters 
            Bm7                          F#m7 
That my end will be torture beneath the earth 
             Bm7                              F#m7 
'Cuz I don't see what they see when death is staring at me 
        Bm7                                    Fmaj7(5+) 
I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all 

( Dmaj7/A  Fmaj7/C  Amaj7/E  A6/E ) 
( Bm7  C#m7  Dmaj7  Fmaj7/C ) 

             Bm7                      F#m7 
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever 
                Bm7            F#m7 
Would your life even matter anymore? 
            Bm7                    F#m7 
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion 
          A                      Fmaj7(5+) 
But it's not what you signed up for 


( A  Fmaj7(5+)  F#m  Fmaj7(5+)) 
( A  Fmaj7(5+)  F#m  Fmaj7(5+)) 


A              Fmaj7(5+)       F#m/A   Fmaj7(5+) 
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine 
A              Fmaj7(5+)       F#m/A    Fmaj7(5+) 
But there's this momentary beam of light 
A                            Fmaj7(5+) 
You don't have to wait those salty decades 
   F#m/A                         Fmaj7(5+) 
To get through the gate it's all in front of your face 
A              Fmaj7(5+)       F#m/A   Fmaj7(5+) 
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine 
A             Fmaj7(5+)              Dmaj7  Dm 
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine 
A               Fmaj7(5+)     Dmaj7      Dm 
But there's this momentary beam of light 

        A                        Bm7 
I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion 
          A                           Bm7 
For every shining second this fragile body beckons 
                 A                        Bm7 
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters 
            A                  Bm7 
Sure it's a calming notion but it's a lie
