Come, all forgiven 
     E 
The life you never lived in 
F#m 
You will lie there with her 
     C#m              G 
And tell her how you miss her 
A                                                E 
And all the thoughts and the clouds will drift away 

B 
Sure, there is comfort

Ignoring that you’re done for

Sure, there is drifting

Nothing much like living

Nothing happens with such amazing grace 

Em 

    G                 D 
No more the endless taunt

All you think you want 
G                     D                 A 
Dreams that seem to haunt you all day long 

B 
You have known enough here 
It only goes on longer 
F#m 
Oh, so much to learn from 
A                        G 
Your heart that now you turn from 
F#m                                    Em 
And all you yearn for, isn’t that the way? 

G                        D 
No more the songs that steal 
Em                               Bm A 
Through the darkness that you feel 
G                         D               A 
The words that heal the hurt you can’t erase 
             D  A 
You can’t erase 

G                   F#m 
Get rid of it, O child 
             Em 
What’s the sense of it? 
G             F#m 
Get off you, fool with these fools 
                 Em 
And soon you’ve lost you 

           G             D 
Nothing’s only light or dark 
          Em                       Bm A 
In this world that breaks your heart 
     G                       D                A 
The shadows part, and the clouds will drift away 

             G           D 
Yeah, sure, suck it up again 
            Em             Bm A 
Aren’t you man enough to live? 
     G                     D               A 
But that won’t end, the clouds will drift away 

       G  D   Em 
Drift away (clouds will drift away) 
Bm            A   G   D 
Clouds will drift away 
A                 E 
Ahh, Ohh, drift away
