I am closer to believing than I ever was before
[C] the crest of desolation, must I crash upon the shore
With the thrift of acquaintance, light the fire to love once more
[Am] I am windblown, I [D] am sighs
To be closer to believing, to be just a breath away
[C] the death of inspiration, I will buy back yesterday
[D] There's no pollution, there's no shop of coins to pay
[Am] As I reach out, it slips [D] away
[C] the crest of desolation, must I crash upon the shore
With the thrift of acquaintance, light the fire to love once more
[Am] I am windblown, I [D] am sighs
To be closer to believing, to be just a breath away
[C] the death of inspiration, I will buy back yesterday
[D] There's no pollution, there's no shop of coins to pay
[Am] As I reach out, it slips [D] away
