Dsus2 Csus2/Bb

[Verse]

Dsus2 Csus2/Bb

All the things that I needed

G/B Dsus2

And wasted my chances

Csus2/Bb

I have found myself wanting

Dsus2 Csus2/Bb

When my mother and father

G/B Dsus2

Gave me their problems

Csus2/Bb

I accepted them all

Dsus2 Csus2/Bb

Nothing ever expected

G/B Dsus2

I was rejected

Csus2/Bb

But I came back for more

[Chorus]

Bbadd+11 A

And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky

Where a boy rides on a bike but never smiles

Bbadd+11 A

And my ashes fall on all the things we said

On a box of photographs under the bed

A kiss that will burn me

G/B Dsus2

And cure me of dreaming

I was always returning

And my ashes fade among the things unseen

Gmaj7 A

And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys

Bbadd+11 A

And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales

Gmaj7 Fmaj7 D A

Never-ending clouds of rain, and distant sails, distant sails

Fmaj7 D A

Sails
