The Last Day We Ever Close Our Eyes

	  		
Intro: G D G C D G 


G                           D 
You and I did sprout like a planted love, 

               G                          C 
So deep in the ground that it grows on forever, 

        D            G 
So that everyone can feel it. 

         G                            D 
And then bugs will come to fill up on our sweet blood, 

                G                    
To chew off the bark that shields us, 

    C             D                   G 
But we'll keep on growing towards the sun. 



C                                Am   
Nothing on this world could ever break us apart, 

       G                                 C 
All in heaven are going to cry when they can't figure out why 

            G                  
A fragile world with numbered days, 

            D 
Here in the sun we dance we sway. 

              G 
And when they finally kill the lights, 

            C                   Am7 
You get the glass I'll pour the wine, 

       G                D              G 
On the last day that we ever close our eyes.

     G                                D 
Then what's it going to take away the bend that leads to a break 

         G   
For centuries we burned at the stake, 

               C             D               G 
But they won't see our ashes falling anytime soon. 

    G 
No, I've seen through the end, 

                    D 
I've seen your hand holding my hand, 

                G                        C             D 
As we watch the clouds gather from every corner of the Earth, 

          G 
But we are smiling. 

C                                   Am         
And we know that we have given this world everything that we can. 


      G                        C 
And a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day, 

           G                         D 
It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away. 

        G                             C                Am7 
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die, 

       G                D              G 
On the last day that we ever close our eyes. 


         G                        C 
I said a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day, 

           G                         D 
It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away. 

        G                             C                Am7 
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die, 

       G                D              G 
On the last day that we ever close our eyes. 

                                           
       G                D              C     G 
On the last day that we ever close our eyes
