Intro 
Dm  Am  G  F  C  Am  G  F  C 

       Am     G        F       C 
 Let's try to make the most of this 
      Am       G        F      C 
 I'll ask this once: my last request 
   Am        G          F     C 
 I count the times that you recede 
   Am           G         F         Am 
 I slip through hands and kiss your teeth 
 G         C          Am      Em 
 Mend your words down side to side 
 G       C       Am     Em 
 Stutter step, defeat revised 

Am  G  F  C  (X2) 

 Am        G           F      C 
 When your words spill out in rust 
      Am     G       F       C 
 They billow out and rise in dust 
    Am     G        F         C 
 So start ahead now while you can 
     Am      G                  F      Am 
 And someone will take you with silver hands 
 G        C       Am       Em 
 Waltz in form on down the aisle 
 G            C           Am     Em 
 With perfect pace and in single file 

Am  G  F  C  (X2) 

      Am        G        F         C 
 With patterned plans to mend your streets 
      Am      G      F          C 
 They rise in form beneath your feet 
     Am      G        F        C 
 Our darkest days are gone for now 
       Am        G         F        C 
 We'll adorn our suits and our best gowns 
       Am        G         F        C 
 We'll adorn our suits and our best gowns 

Am  G  F  C  (X3)
