Verse: Am G Am I know the old patterns C D5 Am because I live by the sea, G Am and what I translate in water, C G Am it won't come back to haunt me. G Am So cut another pattern to C D5 Am make a suitable friend of me, G Am and in your illumination C G Am is your apology. Pre-chorus: C G Am What we keep of last night while we sleep. C G D5 It's what we keep of last night while we sleep. Chorus: Am C G D5 And I watch your grave be written all over your face, Am C G D5 on the longest day, when midnight tries to take my place. Am C G D5 As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave, Am C G D5 It should have passed like hours, passed like years, felt like days. Verse 2: Am G Am And you live in the shadows C D5 Am of the evenings you mislead, G Am but they're too real to be forgotten, c G Am if you choose the right company. G Am And I run each finger through the dust C D Am and only through your hair in sleep G Am but it's like the first breath in the morning, C G Am and it brings the past back to me. Pre-chorus: C G Am What we keep of last night while we sleep. C G D5 It depends what we keep of last night while we sleep. Chorus: Am C G D5 And I watch your grave be written all over your face, Am C G D5 on the longest day, I watch people fight to take my place. Am C G D5 As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave, Am C G D5 It should have passed like years, passed like hours, lost in days.
