"Hours On End"
[Verse]
GThe moral of the story what is it?
Where do I start?
CA woman collecting bottles in her shopping cart
DShe's cursing at me as I walk down the block
GMad at what I lost, like I forgot
GOne man's trash
Is another man's treasure map
COh I lost and found my anchor
In Good Ol' New Amsterdam
DBeen looked at like a stranger
By my own helping hand
GPut myself in danger
Time and time again
[Chorus]
GI don't want to battle
G7I want to lay you down
In a bed of flowers
CFor hours on end
DI don't want to struggle
I just want to love you
GFor Hours on End
[Verse]
CYeah we sing loud and proud for a fifth
And it's nDot just enough to get a lift
See that mEman on the corner's gotta gift
People pay to watch him hanging off a cliff
And his daAmughter lost everything she knows
Now she's Dspotted on the light on the shows
But stEmill she feels so alone
So she had to get good at throwing stones
AmAnd the bandstand is playing her song
And we're daDncing to it all night long
[Chorus]
GI don't want to battle
G7I want to lay you down
In a bed of flowers
Dm7For hours on end, ohhhh
CI don't want to struggle
I just want to love you
CmFor hours on end
GOH oh I just want to get you back
Everything that's been lost and stDmolen from you
COhh I don't want to battle
I want to lay you down in a bed of Flowers
CmFor hours on end
CFor Ghours on End
G7
CFor hours on End
DFor hours on End
GFor Hours On end (repeat)

"Hours On End"

[Verse]

The moral of the story what is it?

Where do I start?

A woman collecting bottles in her shopping cart

She's cursing at me as I walk down the block

Mad at what I lost, like I forgot

One man's trash

Is another man's treasure map

Oh I lost and found my anchor

In Good Ol' New Amsterdam

Been looked at like a stranger

By my own helping hand

Put myself in danger

Time and time again

[Chorus]

I don't want to battle

I want to lay you down

In a bed of flowers

For hours on end

I don't want to struggle

I just want to love you

For Hours on End

[Verse]

Yeah we sing loud and proud for a fifth

And it's not just enough to get a lift

See that man on the corner's gotta gift

People pay to watch him hanging off a cliff

And his daughter lost everything she knows

Now she's spotted on the light on the shows

But still she feels so alone

So she had to get good at throwing stones

And the bandstand is playing her song

And we're dancing to it all night long

[Chorus]

I don't want to battle

I want to lay you down

In a bed of flowers

Dm7

For hours on end, ohhhh

I don't want to struggle

I just want to love you

For hours on end

OH oh I just want to get you back

Everything that's been lost and stolen from you

Ohh I don't want to battle

I want to lay you down in a bed of Flowers

For hours on end

C G

For hours on End

For Hours On end (repeat)

[Outro]
