Intro 4x: A E C# C#7 F#m
Verse:
A E
We make the music that divides you
C# C#7 F#m
It's handed down as a thing to cry to
A E
And all my wars they treat you kindly
C# C#7 F#m
There's nothing more important that I see
A E
There was a time when all was empty
C# C#7 F#m
Unorganized a clog a death scene
A E
Things opened up and there's so many
C# C#7 F#m
Paths to walk ports of entry
E F#m
Now that I'm gone
E F#m
Now that I'm long gone
E F#m
This minute has come and gone
Bm F#m A E
I never said to do anything but forget me
E F#m
I can't be lost
E F#m
I've learned everything from loss
E F#m
For what's gained there's an inner cost
Bm F#m A E
I wont pay it I never would
Verse:
We met the seasons back in Long Town
There was a hint of sadness going round
We met the brothers who drove arrows
And shot assumptions wide and narrow
I know I mean what I'm forgetting
We give for everything we're getting
A lot that hasn't been put away
It's building up for that fateful someday
Chorus:
