D     G      Am  D      G
[Verse 1]
The Gsunset, one less shadow on the Dwater,
the air is cool across my Cshoulder,
I sit alone here on the Gsand.
The Dseabird, high in the fading light, is Gcryin',
he can see the day is Ddyin',
so he turnes towards the GlandD.G  
[Chorus]
I gotta feeling something's Gbreaking and it's all coming Cdown,
there's gonna be a million Gpieces, Dscattered here upon the Gground.
I can see my future Gfading, I have no place to Cstart,
I gotta feeling something's Gbreaking Dand it just might be my Gheart.

Am    D7    G     G
[Verse 2]
Oh, Gmoonlight, your silver road is there beDfore me,
a silent witness to my Cstory,
you know how love can come and Ggo.
At Ddawning the sun will burn away the Gshadow,
then I will have to face toDmorrow,
once again, I'll be aGlone.D  G  
[End-Chorus]
I gotta feeling something's Gbreaking and it's all coming Cdown,
there's gonna be a million Gpieces, Dscattered here upon the Gground.
I can see my future Gfading, I have no place to Cstart,
