[Verse I]
AI can sense Edeparture in the F#mair
Now it's Donly the pAast that we shareE  
ADivided at Ea parting of the F#mroad
Where I could Dride on oAr lighten the lEoad
[Chorus I]
I've been dDreaming of a towAn
Where the lEost and found and wF#mrong way round are bDound
For deEpartuAre
I've been Dcomfortably nuAmb but a Echange is gonna F#mcome
Like a stDorm
Driving dEown through the streeAts
from mount DeEsolation's C#peak
To make you pDure for dEepartuAre
Uhhh    F#mfor dDeparturAe
[Verse II]
ALover we have fEought and we have F#mlaughed
At every oDbstacle tAhrown in our Epath
                A   E.                  F#m  
The things have gotta change before I crack
Before I gDet so lost AI can't get bEack
[Chorus II]
I've been Ddreaming of a toAwn 
Where the Elost and found and F#mwrong way round are Dbound 
For EdepartAure
I woke Dup at the Amouth
Of a Eriver in the F#msouth of this Dland
Where the Etide and the Astones
Strip the Etroubles from your C#bones
And make you Dglad 
Of EdepartuAre
[Bridge]
EI'll treasure til I'm dEead
Everything we have sBmaid and dAone
EFor the voice in my head is telling me
I'd best be moving Aon
Cause the dF#mecent folk don't want mDe
EverywhEere my missteps haunt meA  
But the fF#mears that always sDtalked me
Seem to Efade away
[Chorus II]
When I start dDreaming of a towAn 
Where the Elost and found and F#mwrong way round are Dbound 
For EdepartAure
I woke Dup at the Amouth
Of a Eriver in the F#msouth of this Dland
Where the Etide and the Astones
Strip the Etroubles from your C#bones
And make you Dglad 
Of EdepartuAre
Where the Etide and the Astones
Strip the Etroubles from your C#bones
And make you Dglad 
Of EdepartuAre
[Outro]
The death of lDove, the death of lAove
It's notEhing to be scared Aof
It's just a ligDht switchEing Aoff

Where the tide and the stones

Strip the troubles from your bones

And make you glad

Of departure

I'll treasure til I'm dead

Everything we have said and done

For the voice in my head is telling me

I'd best be moving on

Everywhere my missteps haunt me

But the fears that always stalked me

Seem to fade away

Where the tide and the stones

Strip the troubles from your bones

And make you glad

The death of love, the death of love

It's nothing to be scared of

D E A

It's just a light switching off
