Intro: D Gmaj7/D D11 Em/D (Play Twice) 

verse 1 

           D               G6                          D9    
During the time of which I speak it was hard to turn the other cheek 
G6               Asus   A7 
To the blows of insecurity 
            D            G6                 D9        G 
Feeding the cancer of my intellect the blood of love soon neglected 
D9               G                     Asus       A7 
Lay dying in the strength of it's impurity 

              G                             E7/G# 
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together 
               Asus             A7       G    
They've all gone and left each other in search of fairer weather 
       D                    G 
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast 
A7sus           A7                D    A7/D   D   A7/D 
To the slim chance of love's recovery. 


verse 2 

D               G                D9   
There I am in younger days, star gazing, 
         G                    D9         G                   Asus   A7 
Painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be 
                 D                 G            
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection 
    D                G                  
My compass, faith in love's perfection 
D                    G                           Asus   A7 
I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen 

              G                             E7/G# 
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together 
           Asus         A7           G 
Left each other one by one in search of fairer weather 
        D              G 
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast 
A7sus           A7                D    A7/D   D   A7/D 
To the slim chance of love's recovery. 

Bridge  

A    Asus       A     Asus        C9 
Rain soaked and voice choked like silent screaming in a dream 
  D                       Bm/D         Bm/E 
I search for our absolute distinction 
A   Asus       A       Asus         
Not content to bow and bend 
       C9                       
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures 
D               Bm/D 
Eating us away, eating us away 
G                     Asus        A 
Eating us away to our extinction 

verse 3 

         D             G6      D9                  G           
Oh how I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me 
D9             G                   Asus   A7 
I'd still have two of the same to live 
           D               G6                 D9              G   
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal, as specks of dust we're universal 
   D9             G                                          Asus   A7 
To let this love survive would be the greatest gift we could give 

             G                            E7/G# 
Tell all the friends who think they're so together 
               Asus         A7           G 
That these are ghosts and mirages, these thoughts of fairer weather 
            D            G                      A7sus    A7            
Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms  
          D          Em/D   D   Em/D   D 
of love's discovery
