One thought has me turning back
G D
a dozen point the other way
G C
We act upon desire to each a hand for hire
G D G
and patience isn't worth the wait
C G
You've got knives in your eyes
C G
You would be happy not to change your mind
Em A7
I can't defend you truly
D C D
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire
C G
And if we work it out
D
Chances abound
G
We'd be standing our ground
C
For no one's better sake
G D
better say goodbye
G C
How faint might that light become
G D
in focus but at miles away
G
Although my position
C
just gives you an ignition
G D G
be certain that I know my praise
C G
So is this how it ends
C G
Oh with a whimper in the place of a bang
Em A7
I can't defend you truly
D C D
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire
C G
And if we work it out
D
Chances abound
G
We'd be standing our ground
C G
For no one's better sake
D
goodbye
C G
We would be friends
D
if we tried again
G
I'll take second place
C G
just to end the race
C G
for no one's better sake
D
goodbye.
