[Intro]
Cm G | Ab G ||x3 Cm G | Ab Bb | G | G
[Verse]
Cm | Ab Fm |x2
Cm | Ab Fm
Sleeping on a time bomb, staring into space
| Cm | Ab Eb Bb |
There's an ocean of unpleasantries we are not prepared to face
Cm | Ab Fm
Sitting on the fence post to watch the storm roll in
| Cm | Ab Eb Bb |
And terrified of the damage it will bring when it begins
Cm | Eb Bb |
It will begin
[Pre Chorus]
Cm | Bb Fm
Splintered dreams of unity [our lives are parallel]
Cm | Bb Fm
So far from reality [our lives are parallel]
Cm | Bb Fm
Independent trajectories [our lives are parallel]
Cm | Bb Fm
Separate terms of equality [our lives are parallel]
[Chorus]
Cm G|Ab G x4
Our lives are parallel x4
[Verse 2]
Cm | Ab Fm
Is there no redemption? no common good?
| Cm | Ab Eb Bb |
Is there nothing we can do for ourselves? or only what we should?
Cm | Ab Fm
Comes the hard admission of what we don't provide
Cm | Ab Eb Bb |
Goes the insistence on the ways and means that so divide
Cm | Eb Bb |
They so divide
[Prechorus 2]
Cm | Bb Fm
Side by side suffering loneliness [our lives are parallel]
Cm | Bb Fm
Phony collective progress [our lives are parallel]
Cm | Bb Fm
Accepting that it's all such a mess [our lives are parallel]
Cm | Bb Fm
Gesturing without hope of redress [our lives are parallel]
[Chorus 2]
Cm G|Ab G x4
Our lives are parallel x4
[Bridge]
Ab | Bb | B |B
Forging little plays of deception and pain
Ab | Bb | B |B
As we watch our foundation crumble away
Ab | Bb | B |Gb
Staggering like birds against a hurricane
Db | Ab |Eb | Bb
And trying all the while to stay out of each other's
Cm Bb | Ab G
