G                        
Every day at sunrise, I've got to 
Em 
Empty my pockets, I've got four 
D 
cups of coffee 
         C 
and these empty sockets 
        G 
and the dreams I have soaked in the loom 
       Em 
In the air around my bedroom 
D 
I think about the rising sun 
        C 
And the day to come and I wonder 

            G              Em 
Where you went, where you went 
              D 
Are you wide awake? 
                      C 
Did you read all the letters that I sent? 
               G 
Are you fast asleep? 
                Em         D     C 
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep? 

     G                         Em 
Till all the walls fall we'll just keep being strangers 
       D 
As the world rearranges 
      C 
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green 
         G 
And the sunrise is a welcome thing 
      Em 
But I wish it was more welcoming 
             D 
'Cause this life has such an awful sting 
        C 
And a price to pay for everything 


And every day they say, just get away 
They say, just get back up 
They say, stand tough you've got to keep it up 
You've got to learn to play rough 
You've got to run through a field on a sunlit day 
Laugh it off and sleep at night 

But I don't care, I just don't care 
'Cause if you're not here there's no one to laugh at the jokes we share 
Are you fast asleep? 
Did you know I keep your memory buried away so deep? 

Till all the walls fall we'll just keep being strangers 
As the world rearranges 
Every blade, every seed, every ounce of green 
And the sunrise is a welcome thing 
But I wish it was more welcoming 
'Cause this life has such an awful sting 
And a price to pay for everything 

   Em                        C 
I saw you last night in the cell where I sleep 
          G                    D 
And your shyness was such a surprise 
         Em                            C 
And you said, I hold you in me like a secret I keep 
        G                        D 
And the truth of that moment defies all that we know 

(Em - C - G - D) x2 
Where we go 

So I think till all the walls fall, 
I'll just keep getting stranger 
The world will rearrange her 
Into something just as beautiful 
I know that I won't know you then 
But I see no reason to pretend 
'Cause I love you now and I'll love you then 
And the sun will shine on everything 

Till all the walls fall, 
We'll just keep being strangers 
And the world will rearrange us 
Into things we never planned to be 
As the sun rises around us 
And continues to confound us 
Its beauty will surround us 
And share its life with everything
