VERSE 1
Fmaj7
Soon, no hands, on high tip
C
toe
Fmaj7
Wave to the dawn, and
Faug
off we go
This
Bbmaj7
terrace wedged on
C7
face of rock
Fmaj7
No ledge
Bm7
there his
B7/F
way to block
Fmmaj7
Cm7
Fmmaj7
Cm6
I
Eb11
just received your
Ebmaj7
letter
Still the
Abmaj7
anger fresh and deep
From the
A/E
far-off happy country
With its
Bm
kindness so un
Gm7
ique
Gm6
Did you
Eb11
think I might im
Ebmaj7
press
you?
Did you
Cm
think I might have
Cm7
changed
Em
A/E
braced all we rejected
With our
Abm7
glasses
Ab7b5
charged and

raised

VERSE 2
Fmaj7
In mid-air, do you think he
C
woke
Fmaj7
Silence feeds this
Faug
idle
hope
The
Bbmaj7
treeline came at
C7
jetplane
speed
The
Fmaj7
good
Bn
earth
it
B7/F
self revealed
C7
Now our
Eb11
words proceed to
Ebmaj7
mock
us
Send a
Abmaj7
phrase, no time to speak
While the
A/E
distance and the tarmac
Are
Bm
never shocked or
Gm7
weak
They
Eb11
know their strength and
Ebmaj7
purpose
He and I
Abmaj7
mocked both of those
But we
A/E
filled that space with nothing
And that’s
G#7
why we fail and go
