Verse 1:
    D              Em7 D4 D 
The days were wide open 
                       Em 
At the heart of all my joy 
C                     Em 
Boys were invincible lovers 
     C               Em G 
Just begging to be destroyed 
        D         Em7  D4   D 
They're up in the morning 
                            Em 
Regretfully sobbing and gone 
   C                           Em 
I'm bathed and going back to bed 
         C                   Em G 
This was never any cause for alarm 


   D 
It seems you have a choice to make 
    A7(4) 
The shell is white and yours to break 
  A7(4) 
Either way, it's just as well 
                             Em        G 
All I need's a promise I can keep to myself

They leave with their lovers 
  C                     Em 
Oh, talk aloud in their sleep 
C                 Em 
Drifting off into dreaming 
C                      Em      G 
Never as quiet as they seem to be 
  D          Em7     D4   D 
I know those mornings 
       C                    Em 
Are as good as it ever can be 
C                         Em 
Feeling our hearts are beating 
C                      Em G 
Tenderly, two against three

Nowhere near where I should be

Feeling our hearts are beating
