Before The Line

Tone: [C]

 

[C] I used to [F]smile at every star and thank the [C]sky

[C] Now I look [F]up to all the duds [C]and wonder why

I feel [D7]like all of them are gone

[Fm] Can't feel a single one

 

And [C]so I [F]stretch my eyes across the land and [C]sea

I [C]know I loved [F]the world, but now it's flat [C]to me

Oh, tell me, [D7]did someone snatch the light?

[Fm] Why doesn't it look right?

 

[C] I made a [Gm]promise, but I [F]break it every day

[C] It's not my [Gm]fault, for I was [F]promised just the same

[Ab]Once I saw fire, and all I know [Bb]is something happened

Did I let it [F] [C]go?

 

[Fm] [C]

 

Now every morning since the [F]line between my lives

[C] I greet the sun and ask, "Have [F]I already died?

If not, [D7]then why am I alone?

[Fm] And when can I come home?"

 

It's time to let her float [D]away

No, I'm still clawing for the [Db]strings

Oh, I'd do any xxxxing [Fm]thing

I know I have to close the [Eb]door

Too much to miss it [D]anymore

 

[Db] I'll have to take what I can get

 

[C] I made a [Gm]promise, but I [F]break it every day

[C] It's not my [Gm]fault, for I was [F]promised just the same

[Ab]Once I saw fire, and all I know [Bb]is something happened

Did I let it [F] [C]go?

[C] I made a [Gm]promise, but I [F]break it every day

[C] It's not my [Gm]fault, for I was [F]promised just the same

[Ab]Once I saw fire, and all I know [Bb]is something happened

 

[Ab]Once I saw fire, and all I know [Bb]is something happened
