A It brings out the Dmnervousness in Ame This talk of the Dmfuture A And all of it Dmmoving at light Aspeed Too much to deDmvour F#m A Dmaj7

And we are F#mcloser toAnight Closer than Dever We are F#mcloser toAnight The touch of a Dmaj7finger

A And arrows that Dmfly across the Asea Eyeing the Dmhour A A magic that Dmwe don’t dare reApeat The trick of unDmraveling F#m A D
[Verse 4]
A And driverless Dmcars on Market AStreet Around every Dmcorner A But what is to Dmstop us before AWe turn on each Dmother F#m A Dmaj7
