Lyrics

Should ’ve stayed;

were there signs

I ig nored?

Can I help you

not to hurt

an y more?

We saw bril liance

when the world

was a sleep.

There are things that we can have

but can’t keep.

If they say:

who cares if one more (Fm)light goes out in this sky of a mil lion stars?

It flick ers, flick ers.

Who (Eb)cares when some one’s (Fm)time runs out if a mo ment is all we are,

or quick er, quick er?

Who (Eb)cares if one more (Fm)light goes out?

Well, I

(Ab)do.

The re mind ers

pull the floor

from your feet.

In the kitch en,

one more chair

than you need.

Oh,

and you’re an gry,

and you should be;

it’s not fair.

Just (Eb)’cause you can’t see it

does n’t mean it

is n’t there.

If they say:

who cares if one more

Who cares if one more (Fm)light goes out in this sky of a mil lion stars?

It flick ers, flick ers.

Who (Eb)cares when some one’s (Fm)time runs out if a mo ment is all we are,

or quick er, quick er?

Who (Eb)cares if one more (Fm)light goes out?

Well, I

(Ab)do.

Well, I

do.
