Purple Mountains - Nights that wont happen

The ^Ddead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind When the ^Ahere and the hereafter momentarily align See the ^Em7need to speed into the lead suddenly declined The ^Gdead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind

And as ^Dmuch as we might like to seize the reel and hit rewind Or ^Aquicken our pursuit of what we're guaranteed to find When the ^Em7dying's finally done and the suffering subsides All the ^Gsuffering gets done by the ones we leave behind All the ^Gsuffering gets done by the ones we leave behind

^Em7Nights that won't happen ^GTime we won't spend ^Em7Time we won't spend With each ^Gother again With each ^Gother again

^DGhosts are just old houses dreaming people in the night ^AHave no doubt about it, hon, the dead will do alright Go^Em7 contemplate the evidence and I guarantee you'll find The ^Gdead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind

^Em7Nights that won't happen ^GTime we won't spend ^Em7Nights that won't happen Never ^Gever again ^Em7Nights that won't happen Never ^Greaching the end ^Em7Nights that won't happen Never ^Geven begin Never ^Geven begin

This ^Dworld is like a roadside inn and we're the guests inside And ^Adeath is a black camel that kneels down so we can ride And when the ^Em7dying's finally done and the suffering subsides All the ^Gsuffering gets done by the ones we leave behind All the ^Gsuffering gets done by the ones we leave behind

On ^Em7nights that won't happen ^GTime we won't spend ^Em7Time we won't spend With each ^Gother again ^Em7Nights that won't happen Never ^Greaching the end ^Em7Nights that won't happen We can't ^Geven begin We can't ^Geven begin
