The Last Day We Ever Close Our Eyes

Intro: G D G C D G


G                           D
You and I did sprout like a planted love,

               G                          C
So deep in the ground that it grows on forever,

        D            G
So that everyone can feel it.

         G                            D
And then bugs will come to fill up on our sweet blood,

                G
To chew off the bark that shields us,

    C             D                   G
But we'll keep on growing towards the sun.



C                                Am
Nothing on this world could ever break us apart,

       G                                 C
All in heaven are going to cry when they can't figure out why

            G
A fragile world with numbered days,

            D
Here in the sun we dance we sway.

              G
And when they finally kill the lights,

            C                   Am7
You get the glass I'll pour the wine,

       G                D              G
On the last day that we ever close our eyes.



Instrumental Break (same as intro): G D G C D G


     G                                D
Then what's it going to take away the bend that leads to a break

         G
For centuries we burned at the stake,

               C             D               G
But they won't see our ashes falling anytime soon.

    G
No, I've seen through the end,

                    D
I've seen your hand holding my hand,

                G                        C             D
As we watch the clouds gather from every corner of the Earth,

          G
But we are smiling.

C                                   Am
And we know that we have given this world everything that we can.


      G                        C
And a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day,

           G                         D
It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away.

        G                             C                Am7
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die,

       G                D              G
On the last day that we ever close our eyes.


         G                        C
I said a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day,

           G                         D
It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away.

        G                             C                Am7
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die,

       G                D              G
On the last day that we ever close our eyes.
