[Verse 1]

A A+

Reasoned verse, some prose or rhymes

F#m Adim

Lose themselves in other times

Bm E

And waiting hopes cast silent spells

That speak in crowded clues

Bm F

It cannot be a part of me

Dm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A

For now it's part of you

[Verse 2]

A A+

Careful plays on fields that seem to

Vanish when they're in between

Bm E

And softly as I walk away

Bm E

In freshly tattered shoes

Bm F

It cannot be a part of me

Dm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A

For now it's part of you

Sunshine, ragtime

F#m

Blowing in the breeze

Midnight, looks right

Close to what we had to say

And one more time a faded dream

Is saddened by the news

It cannot be a part of me

For now it's part of you
