Dead Wishes

	  		
G 
Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes 
G 
Looking for a part of me that's still alive 
C                         G 
Waiting for my chest to fall 'n rise 

G 
Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in 
G 
Summer turns to autumn winter turns to spring 
C 
And it all flies by 
G 
Like a speeding train 

Em                C 
Dead wishes on a broken chain 
Em                C 
White roses in a dead man's dream 
Em 
Down and out 
Am7+ 
With everything to lose 
C 
If these long dead wishes 
      G 
Never do come true 

G 
Waiting for the night to come and chase away 
G 
All the flies hovering around my head 
C 
With my memories for a pillow 
G 
And all my regrets for a bed 

G 
Standing on the corner now I'm passed surprise 
G 
Yelling out a warning to some passer by 
C 
I stand just as god made me 
G 
And i lie down in disguise 

Em           C  
Dead wishes on a burning lake 
Em           C 
White roses for my soul to keep 
Em                 Am7+  
Diving down with everything to win 
C 
If my long since sunken ship 
G 
Ever does come in 

Down and down we all fall down 
And that's how ancient mountains crumble 

C 
Time keeps moving slower 
D# 
Like falling from the sun 
G 
Come and knock me over 
C 
I keep getting up 
D# 
Throw a line down to me 
G 
Keep hanging on 

G 
Standing on the corner don't apologize 
G 
You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes 
C 
Or pretend that you don't see me 

Em                 C 
Dead wishes on a broken chain 
Em                 C 
White roses in a dead man's dream 
Em 
Down and out 
Am7+ 
With everything to lose 
C 
If these long dead wishes 
C 
These long dead wishes 
G 
Ever do come true 

Down and down we all fall down 

And that's how ancient mountains crumble
