[Intro]

B   Gm   A   Dm
B   Gm   A   Dm


[verse 1]

B             Gm   
The patter of breaking glass
A            Dm                B
invades like gentle rain and a dog 
                   Gm
barks somewhere in Gleadless
         A                    Dm
i'm in a safe yet frightening dream again
        B           Gm  
and the night is an endless place
       A               Dm          
but it ends so sweetly at your face
     B              Gm  
this bed is made of energy
         A                Dm
it's the strangest kingdom where we sleep


[pre-chorus 1]

B               C           Dm    B
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
         Dm           C
not like when we were young
B               C             Dm          A
the kids are asleep while the kids in the park
A
are happy burning cars


[chorus 1]

B                     Gm   
and i hear the gentle morning song
       A                     Dm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
B                Gm   
like a litany recited for me
       A           Dm
in the dark aisles of our street

B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu


[verse 2]

B             Gm                 A
the patter of tiny feet could it be 
            Dm                      B
the final straw we've thrown on the back
                Gm                
of the camel of our youth
            A                   Dm
long in the teeth, will i still long for you
        B                          
because life is an endless place
      C                  Dm       
or at least it sometimes seems that way
        B               C   
will we die wearing perplexed faces
 Dm                 B
books of words still left to say


[pre-chorus 2]

B               C           Dm    B
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
         Dm           C
not like when we were young
B               C           Dm          A
the world isn't waiting for us but it whispers softly through the door


[chorus 2]

B                     Gm   
i hear the gentle morning song
       A                Dm
like a quiet reflection of my soul
  B                        Gm   
i sang that song back when i was young
        B                      Gm   
and the virgin earth stretched on and on

B                     Gm   
and i hear the gentle morning song
       A                     Dm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
       B         Gm   
like a litany recited for me 
       A           Dm
in the dark church of our street

B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
