The rhythm for each verse and chorus remains the same the entire way through. Just repeat the pattern I labeled
for the first verse, pre-chorus, and chorus.
GEvery day at sunrise, I’ve got to
EmEmpty my pockets, I’ve got four
Dcups of coffee
and theseC empty sockets
and the Gdreams I have soaked in the loom
In the Emair around my bedroom
DI think about the rising sun
And the Cday to come and I wonder
Where you weGnt, where you wEment
Are you wide aDwake?
Did you read all the lCetters that I sent?
Are you fast asGleep?
Did you know I kEmeep your meDmory bCuried away so deep?
Till Gall the walls fall we’llEm just keep being strangers
As the Dworld rearranges
Every Cblade, every seed, every ounce of green
And the sGunrise is a welcome thing
But I Emwish it was more welcoming
‘Cause thisD life has such an awful sting
And a prCice 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
I sEmaw you last night in the cCell where I sleep
And your sGhyness was such a surDprise
And you sEmaid, I hold you in me like a sCecret I keep
And the Gtruth of that moment defiDes 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
