then slide E shape up and down 1 fret for 3 bars....
And I guess that I've been singing all my life
Well that's right, and that is fine
I've been spending all your money and your time
Well that's right, and that is fine
Cause I don't have to stay
With these feelings that are filling up
My life with daze
I can walk away
From these people whose ideas
Are just what other people say
And the crowd that is gathered is confused
We're all trembling inside - solitude
We've got nothing left to use
We've got all the bullets but there's no one left to shoot
We can't walk away
From these feelings that are filling up
Our lives with daze
We may have to stay
With these people whose ideas
Are just what other people say
Can I again?
But if heaven is a place upon your skin
That I may have touched from without to within
Will then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin
And grin
And grin
I guess that I've been singing all my life
Well that's right
And that is fine
I've been spending all your money and your time
Well that's right
And that is fine

When I was a child
C#m/a
I looked up at the sky
A
Thought I saw you and I
F#
In the clouds passing by
When I was a boy
I looked out at the sea
Thought I saw you and me
In the waves on the breeze
E
C#m
And I I still do
A
I still do
F#
I still do
When I was a child
I had that look in my eye
Had a will to despise
Make destruction my life
And I I still do
I still do
I still do
And I I still do
I still think
I still do
When I was a boy
I looked out to the sea
Thought I saw you and me
In the waves on the breeze
And I I still do
I still do
I still do
And I I still do
I still do
I still do
Above there are no stars tonight just northern skies

Reflected light upon your face

People think stars rule our lives

Some people they think otherwise, they can be replaced

Where did you go on that big black night?

Did you take the coast road back through your life?
Am

See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
C
G
And say, well, they'll do all right for me
We shroud our lives in mysteries
Brooding skies and stormy seas, if we have any sense
Storm clouds roll, they're free to break
And we're free to make the same mistakes again and again
Where shall I go on those big, black nights?
Should I take the coast road back through my life?
See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
And say, well, they'll do all right for me
Na na na na
Above there are no stars tonight, just northern skies
Reflected light on fields of snow
Some people think stars rule our lives
Some people they think otherwise; what does anybody know?
Where shall we go on those big, black nights?
Shall we take the coast road back through our lives?
See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
And say, well they'll do all right for me
Na na na na
Where shall I go on those big, black nights?
Should I take the coast road back through my life?
See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
And say, well, they'll do all right for me?

See the stars and constellations
Sit beneath their congregation
To The Brink

Do you fancy a drink? I know a place called The Brink, do you wanna go there?
F#m

I can buzz off your smile and there may be people you know there
They've got no rule of thumb, so on the counter I strum with my fingers
And I adore the surprise of tomorrow's sunrise, so I linger
C#

And I raise a glass, a smile or two

This stuff strips the light from your bones

And I would like to stay with you, but I leave alone
You're the guy on the bus whose not quite one of us, you hear laughter
And they won't let you in 'cause everyone knows what you're after
So you wear the disguise of your brilliant eyes drenched in flamboyance
And you sit by the bar much to everyone else's annoyance
And I raise a glass, a smile or two
This stuff strips the light from your bones
And I would like to leave with you, but I stay alone
Instrumental verse x2
And I raise a glass, a smile or two
This stuff strips the light from your bones
And I would like to leave with you
