Lyrics

I watched the (F5)morn ing dawn up (Bb5)on your skin,

a splin ter (F5)in the light.

It caught and (F5)frayed the ver y (Bb5)heart of us.

It’s been hid ing there in (F5)side for all this (Bb5)time.

(Gsus2)How a sure thing winds up (Bbsus2)just like this,

(Gsus2)clock work si lence on ly (Bbsus2)knows.

(Csus2)ings.

And it’s (D5)no one’s fault; there’s no (Bbmaj7)black and white, on ly (D5)you and me on this (Bbmaj7)end less night.

And as the (D5)hours run a (Am7)way with an (Bbmaj7)oth er life, oh (D5)dar ling, can’t you (C5)see, it’s now or (Bbmaj7)nev er?

It’s now or (D5)nev er.

I Sweep ing (F5)egg shells still at (Bb5)three a.

m.:

we’re try ing (F5)far too hard,

the tat tered (F5)thought bal loons a (Bb5)bove our heads sink ing in the weight of (F5)all we need to (Bb5)say.

(Gsus2)Why’s and what if’s have since (Bbsus2)long played out;

(Gsus2)left us short on hap py (Bbsus2)end

(Csus2)ings.

And it’s (D5)no one’s fault; there’s no (Bbmaj7)black and white, on ly (D5)you and me on this (Bbmaj7)end less night.

And as the (D5)hours run a (Am7)way with an (Bbmaj7)oth er life, oh (D5)dar ling, can’t you (C5)see, it’s now or (Bbmaj7)nev er?

It’s now or (D5)nev er.

(Gsus2)hours run a (Am7)way (C)with an (Bbmaj7)oth er life, oh (D5)dar ling, can’t you (C5)see, it’s now or (C)nev er?

It’s now or (Gsus2)nev er.

It’s now or (Gsus2)nev er.

It’s now or (Gsus2)nev er.

You (Gsus2)know that there’s (Am7)so much (C)more.

And it’s (D5)no one’s fault; there’s no (Bb5)black and white, on ly (D5)you and me on our (Bb5)fi nal night.

And as the (Gsus2)hours run a (Am7)way with an (Bbmaj7)oth er life, (Csus2)oh (D5)dar ling, can’t you (C5)see, it’s now or (Bbmaj7)nev er?
