A E

We make the music that divides you

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

It's handed down as a thing to cry to

A E

And all my wars they treat you kindly

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

There's nothing more important that I see

A E

There was a time when all was empty

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

Unorganized, a clog, a death scene

A E

Things opened up and there's so many

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

Paths to walk, ports of entry

E F#m

Now that I'm gone

E F#m

Now that I'm long gone

E F#m

This minute has come and gone

Bm F#m A E

I never said to do anything but forget me

E F#m

I can't be lost

E F#m

I've learned everything from loss

E F#m

For what's gained there's an inner cost

D A E Bm

I won't pay it, I never would *: play that 5th fret

A E

We left the seasons back in Long Town

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

There was a hint of sadness going round

A E

We met the brothers who drove arrows

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

And shot assumptions wide and narrow

A E

I know I mean what I'm forgetting

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

We give for everything we're getting

A E

A lot that hasn't been put away

C#7 Ddim7 F#m

It's building up for that fateful someday

E F#m

Now that I'm gone

E F#m

Now that I'm long gone

E F#m

This minute has come and gone

Bm F#m A E

I never said to do anything but forget me

E F#m

When it seems I'm around

E F#m

Check again what's up and what's down

E F#m

Any silences make a sound

Bm F#m A E

Before the equation I'm the answer

A E Bm A E D
