lyrics

Cm Gm Ab
You could tell this song is sad by that opening progression
Cm Gm Ab
The tools of the trade for an honest confession
Eb Bb Ab
Trying to get you in the mood for some sort of concession

Cm Gm Ab
Sometimes I wish I was still that boy who used to play downstairs
Cm Gm Ab
A million miles away from all these troubles and these cares
Eb Bb Ab
But If I had the chance I just don’t know that I would dare

Eb Bb Ab
Would there still be rainbows if we all were blind?
Eb Bb Ab
I suppose then that question might never cross our minds
Eb Bb Ab
It’s hard to find the answers when the terms get redefined
Eb Bb Ab
The things that we don’t search for we surely never find

I can hear the hurt and strains in the sounds of someone’s words
And feel the questions asked that we hope won’t go unheard
I wonder in the knowing does it amount to any good?

I can hear the groans of earth as she longs for her new day
I know that I have scarred her with the things I’ve thrown away
I will listen to the story because there’s so much left to say

It lays there right before me in the form of black and white
The promises that even now everything will be alright
In the gloom, there glimmers and glows a guiding light
