E Esus4 E
[Verse 1]
EAnd so there were no higher Amountains
It'sB7sus4 all in your haEnd
(Riff) A
Valley was the future sea
And B7sus4now sail's the Eplan
EAnd in this travel with no Ajourney
I B7sus4lose until I'm Elight
(Riff) A
Letting go of mind to have
What I'm B7sus4keeping nEow
[Chorus]
EAnd suddenly the Aday Asus2gets you B7sus4down
B7sus4But this is not the Amaj7end, no Asus2this is B7sus4fine
B7sus4We're still towers in the Avalley
Still B7sus4winds down this Edream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
With our B7sus4ghosts wiEthin
(Transition)
[Verse 2]
EAnd there are many ways of Asorrow
For B7sus4just stepping oEut
(Riff) A
Everyday a growling storm
But they're B7sus4kind somehEow
EI fall in love but keep on Afalling
I B7sus4held you for liEfe
(Riff) A
But letting go rope in hand
There's just B7sus4leaving noEw
[Chorus]
EAnd suddenly the Aday Asus2gets you B7sus4down
B7sus4But this is not the Amaj7end, no Asus2this is B7sus4fine
B7sus4Still we're biking, laugh in Amemories
Still B7sus4winds down this Edream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
With our B7sus4ghosts witEhin
(Transition)
[Verse 3]
EAnd when there's no one on the Abottom
You B7sus4got there aloneE
(Riff) A
Kicking up some dust to see
Where a B7sus4wind could bloEw
EAnd all the ways to ride a Alightning
I'veB7sus4 used up a few E
(Riff) A
And I just want you to be safe
As I B7sus4thunder thrEough
[Chorus]
EAnd suddenly the Aday Asus2gets you B7sus4down
B7sus4But this is not the Amaj7end, no Asus2this is B7sus4fine
B7sus4We're still the towers in the Avalley
Still B7sus4winds down this Edream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
With our B7sus4ghosts witEhin
(Transition)
[Outro]
ENo this is not the Aend and no B7sus4final teAmaj7ars
Asus2 B7sus4 (Transition)
That we need to show
EI thought that this would Alast for a B7sus4million Amaj7years
Asus2But now I need to B7sus4go
(Outro)
Oh, fuck
