[Cm]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Ab] [Bb] [Cm]
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
[Cm] Under [Eb] a blackened [Bb] sky Far beyond [Ab] the glaring [Cm] streetlights
Sleeping on empty [Eb] dreams [Bb] The vultures lie [Ab] in [Eb] wait
[Cm] You lay down [Eb] beside me then [Bb] You were with [Ab] me everywhere you [Cm] are
So close [Eb] I can feel [Bb] your [Eb] breath
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb] We know it
[Cm] was a dream [Eb] To heaven to hold [Ab] that precious little thing
[Eb] Like every
[Cm] generation [Ab] yields [Eb] A newborn hope [Bb] undated by the [Cm] years
I've
[Eb] [Bb] [Ab]
[Cm] [Bb] [Cm] [Bb] stood [Eb] up against the [F] past [Bb] Found [Ab] myself wanting sympathy
[Cm] To be [Eb] consumed again [Ab] Oh, I know it wouldn't be the death [Eb] of me
[Cm] There is a love [Eb] that's inherently given [Bb] A kind of [Ab] blindness often to [Eb] [Cm] appease
In the light [Eb] of living joy Oh, [Ab] I know [Eb] I won't [Ab] receive [Eb] it
[Ab] We know it
[Cm] was a dream [Eb] To heaven to hold [Ab] that precious little thing
Like every [Cm] generation yields [Eb] A newborn [Gm] hope undated by the [Cm] years
You [Eb] [Bb]
[Ab] [Cm]
[D] [Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Cm] know if [Eb] I leave you now [Bb] It doesn't mean [Fm] that I love you any [Cm] less
It's just the [Eb] state I'm in I [Ab] can't be good to [Cm] anyone else like [F] [Ab] this
We [Cm]
know it was a dream [Eb] To heaven to hold [Ab] that precious little thing
Like every
[Cm] generation yields [Eb] A newborn hope [Bb] undated by the [Cm] years
