Verse 1
Sure it’s a [Bm] calming notion, perpetu[F#m] al in motion
But I don’t [Bm] need the comfort of any [F#m] lies
For I have [Bm] seen the ending and there is [F#m] no ascending [A] ri[Faug] se
Verse 2
Oh, back when [Bm] I was younger, was told by [F#m] other youngsters
That my end [Bm] will be torture beneath the [F#m] earth
‘Cause I don’t [Bm] see what they see when death is [F#m] staring at me
I see a [Bm6] window, a [Bm7] limit, to [Bm] live it, or [Bmadd9] not at all [Faug]
[Dmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm7] [C#m7] [Dmaj7] [Fmaj7]
Verse 3
If you could [Bm] pull the lever to carry [F#m] on forever
Would your life [Bm] even matter any[F#m] more?
Sure it’s a [Bm] calming notion, perpetu[F#m] al in motion
But it’s [A] not what you signed [Faug] up for
Bridge
A Faug Dmaj7 Faug (x2)
[A] I’m sure there [Faug] won’t always be [Dmaj7] sun - [Faug] shine
[A] But there’s this [Faug] momentary [Dmaj7] beam of [Faug] light
You [A] don’t have to wait those [Faug] salty decades
To [Dmaj7] get through the gate, it’s all in [Faug] front of your face
[A] I’m sure there [Faug] won’t always be [Dmaj7] sun - [Faug] shine
[A] I’m sure there [Faug] won’t always be [Dmaj7] sun - [Dm] shine
[A] But there’s this [Faug] momentary [Dmaj7] beam of [Dm] light
Chorus 3
I could [A] cross the ocean in a fit [Bm] of devotion
For every [A] shining second this fragile [Bm] body beckons
You think you’re [A] owed it better believing [Bm] ancient letters
Sure it’s a [A] calming notion but it’s a [Bm] lie
