The Walkmen - Lisbon

^EThe countless eyes dot^Bted in the night sky ^EI speak the language, o^Br several hundred words. ^EA cloudless day, and a ^Bthunderous night. ^EAmong companions, I'll ^Bcarry my name.

^F#But the life we lead came gradually. ^BWho keeps the time? ^F#A bitter lime, will do us fine ^BTo kill the taste.

^EWe´ll turn deaf ears on a^Bll that we don’t wanna hear ^EBut a cause for travel has co^Bme again. ^EAt this early hour, I'll te^Bll your wife a story ^EShe looks outside and dou^Bbles over laughing.

^F#Of the souls you loved, and a place you lived ^BThose country houses. ^F#And a change of heart tore us apart ^BOh, what a ride.

^BEvery chance you have ^BAll the love and life ^BAll the joy and grace Don't be absur^F#d, don't you think it out ^F#You know what thinking does To love's shine, and love's li^Bght. ^BNow it's your every word ^BOh I'm hanging on It feels right these d^F#ays ^F#I saw strange things ^F#The lines of old faces Up on the stormy sky, tonig^Bht.

^ENow all the younger kids have go^Bne away to sleep ^EIn the days to come, I’ll ^Bdo the same. ^EAt this early hour, I'll t^Bell your wife a story ^EShe looks outside and dou^Bbles over laughing.

^F#The life we lead came gradually ^BWho keeps the time? ^F#Bitter lime, do us fine ^BTo kill the taste.
