[C] [G]
She's thinking about the prince and Cinderella
They have long seen the hustlers and the heroes.
They've never seen
It doesn't matter it doesn't matter what the outcome [D] the story is
[G] Is it real life?
I [C] try to tell her it's not like [D] that at all
[Em] Won't you please
[D] Just hold on
[Em] There's some things I'd like [D] to forget
[C] when the world is
Sinking like [G] a sunset
It was a dawn one
It's very [D] poetic, baby
[G]
But out on the streets out there
The true voice of life is written
You know, it's really a shame
[C] Got to let go of [G] all the things you love
Like a father he really bleeds [C] when he must
hang [D] up his gloves
[Em] No, I'm not [D] and I can feel it now
But [Em] for a moment I'd like [D] to forget
[C] That my heart is
Sinking [G] like a sunset
Sinking like a sunset
Na na
[C]
Sinking [G] like a sunset
Na na
[C]
[Em] Sinking like a sunset
Everybody [D] has a story
[E] Some are tragic
And [D] some find glory
[C] But it feels [G] more real
[C] When you're here
[G]
Right [D] next to me
You know I'm not
[Em] [D]
[Em] [D]
[C]
[G] You're the arching fire
I won't ever let you
When you manage your mind
You know I need you now
You're the angel
That keeps me in line
The old sergeant
[D] Has broken [C] down
[G]
He's a rotten sinner
He's just a killer bastard in the [C] night
And he's all [D] out of time
So
[Em] don't hold out
[D] Let's make love right now
[Em] Cause there's some things
I'd like [D] to forget
[C] When our hearts are
Sinking [G] like a sunset
[Em] Won't you hold me [D]
now
Cause [Em] when you're with me
The [D] sun comes out at night
[C] Making me forget
We're sinking [G] like a sunset
We're sinking like a sunset Na na
