E Standing firm on this...stony ground, the Cmaj7wind blows hard,
Pulls these clothes around, I..A. harbour all the same worries as most,
The temp - tFmaj7ations to leave, or to give up the ghost,
D I wrestle with an oBm/F#utlook on life Bm/Athat shGifts between darkness,
G6(type2) Fmaj7
And shadowy light, I struggle with words, for fear that they'll hear,
But OrGm7pheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the Amaj7world!
E Sunlight falls, my wings open wide, there's a Cmaj7beauty here, I cannot deny,
And botAtles that tumble, and crash on the stairs,
Are justFmaj7 so many people I knew never cared, D down below, on the Bm/F#wreck of the ship,
Bm/A G G6(type2)
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret,
But the bFmaj7aggage is swallowed up by the tide
As OrGm7pheus keeps to his promise, and stays by my Amaj7side!
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 Fmaj7 Tell me, G6 Gadd9 I've still a G6lot to learn,
Fmaj7 I uFmaj9nderstand,Fmaj7 G6 Gadd9these fires nG6ever stop,
Fmaj7 Be - Fmaj9lieve-Fmaj7- me, G6 when Gadd9this joke is tG6ired of laughing,
Fmaj7 I will-Fmaj9---- hear.Fmaj7... the prG6omise of my OrBbpheus Asus4sing!

E Sleepers sleep, while we... row the boat,
JustCmaj7 you, the weather, and I gave up hope,
But aAll of the hurdles that fell in our laps...
...was Fmaj7fuel for the fire, and straw for our backs,
D Still the voices have sBm/F#tories to tell...
Bm/A G G6(type2)
Of the power struggles in heaven & hell,
ButFmaj7 we feel secure against such might dreams,
As OGm7rpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may... Amaj7bring!
