G 
Well morning came 
       G7   
And it dressed the sky 
    C             D 
In a lovely yellow gown 
       G 
And the shops they are 
   G7 
All opening 
           C                  D 
In that narrow hallway of downtown 
          G 
Filled with people who 
      G7 
Are shopping for 
        C                D 
Their lovers and their friends 
       G             D       G 
So they won't ever be lonely again 
 
         G 
Well a forest fenced 
  G7 
becomes backyards 
        C                D 
Like songs are born from sound 
          G 
And the apple fell 
       G7 
And it taught us all 
         C                D 
We are chained here to the ground 
       G 
So here we go 
              G7 
But there ain't no escape 
               C                D 
Yeah, these streets they're just dead ends 
  G           D          G 
So I won't ever be happy again 
 
G Fm7 Em G 
 
It seems you too
 
See a painful blue
 
When you stare in
 
To the sky
 
You can never understand
 
The motion of
 
A hand waving good-bye
 
But as the story goes
 
The way it is often told
 
A new day will arise
 
And all the dancehall with
 
Full of skeleton's
 
Their coming back to life
 
And on a grassy hill
 
The lion will
 
Lay down with the lamb
 
And I wont never 
 
Be lonely again
 
But until that time
 
I think I better find
 
Some disbelief to suspend
 
Cause' I dont wanna feel like this again
