Lyrics

(C)Re a lign

all the stars

a bove my head;

the warn ing signs trav el far.

I drink in stead

on my own.

Oh, (C)how I’ve known

the bat tle scars and worn out beds.

Gen tle now, the ten der breeze blows,

(Em7)whis pers through my Gran To ri no,

whis tl ing an (Dm7)oth er ti (Cmaj7)red song.

(F)En gines hum and bit ter dreams grow;

heart locked in a Gran

To ri no

beats a lone ly rhy thm all

night (C)long.

These (F)streets are old;

they shine

with things I’ve known,

and breaks through the (Em7)trees.

They’re (F)spar kl ing.

Your (CN.C.)world is noth ing more than all the ti ny things you’ve left be hind.

So,

(Db)ten der ly,

the sto ry is noth ing more than what you see, or what you’ve done or will be come.

You’re stand ing strong.

Do you be long oh, (Db)in your skin?

Just won der ing.

and worn out beds.

(Gbmaj7)Gen tle now, a ten der breeze blows,

(Dbmaj9)whis pers through the Gran To ri no,

whis tl ing an (Ebm7)oth er ti red song.

(Gbmaj7)En gines hum and bit ter dreams grow;

a heart locked in a Gran To ri no

beats a lone ly rhy thm all night (Db)long.

May I (Gbmaj7)be so bold,

and stay?

I need some (Bbm7)one to hold

that shud ders my (Fm7)skin.

They’re (Gbmaj7)spar kl ing.

The (CN.C.)world is noth ing more than all the ti ny things you’ve left be hind.

So,

(Db)long,

beats a lone ly rhy thm

all night (Db)long,

(Eb)beats a lone ly rhy thm all night long.
