Em Am D

When the memories I've saved

Gmaj7 C

Have all been erased

BbDim Bsus4 B

Or swallowed by history

Em Am D

When the mountains I climbed

Gmaj7 C

Are flattened by time

BbDim Bsus4 B

And shrouded in mystery

Em/B Am D

When your atoms and mine

Gmaj7 C BbDim B7/F#

Occupy a single moment.

One moment.

I know your sky's full of clouds

And life drowns you out

BbDim Bsus4 B

Your words fall into the dark.

Em Am D

And yes, your colours all run,

Gmaj7 C

All bleed into one,

BbDim B7

One monochrome question mark

Em/G Am D

But I believe what I feel

Gmaj7/B C BbDim Bsus4 B

Long outburns the sun that warms me.
