            Bm7                 F#m7 
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion 
            Bm7                      F#m7 
But I don't need the comfort of any lies 
           Bm7                           F#m7         A   F7M(5+) 
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending rise 

             Bm7                         F#m7 
Oh back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters 
            Bm7                          F#m7 
That my end will be torture beneath the earth 
             Bm7                              F#m7 
'Cuz I don't see what they see when death is staring at me 
        Bm7                                    F7M(5+) 
I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all 

( D7M/A  F7M/C  A7M/E  A6/E ) 
( Bm7  C#m7  D7M  F7M/C ) 

             Bm7                      F#m7 
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever 
                Bm7            F#m7 
Would your life even matter anymore? 
            Bm7                    F#m7 
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion 
          A                      F7M(5+) 
But it's not what you signed up for 


( A  F7M(5+)  F#m  F7M(5+)) 
( A  F7M(5+)  F#m  F7M(5+)) 


A              F7M(5+)       F#m/A   F7M(5+) 
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine 
A              F7M(5+)       F#m/A    F7M(5+) 
But there's this momentary beam of light 
A                            F7M(5+) 
You don't have to wait those salty decades 
   F#m/A                         F7M(5+) 
To get through the gate it's all in front of your face 
A              F7M(5+)       F#m/A   F7M(5+) 
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine 
A             F7M(5+)              D7M  Dm 
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine 
A               F7M(5+)     D7M      Dm 
But there's this momentary beam of light 

        A                        Bm7 
I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion 
          A                           Bm7 
For every shining second this fragile body beckons 
                 A                        Bm7 
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters 
            A                  Bm7 
Sure it's a calming notion but it's a lie
