State Of Our Affairs

C#      F#              C#
Morning wears a veil of rain
F#        C#     Ab
above the city I live in

C#            F#             C#
The traffic's edging forward again
    F#     C#                  Ab
But no-one knows where they’re going

         C#   F#          C#
Could it be a sign of our affairs
   Ab
Im seeing

            C#    F#  C#
Cause we’ll still be here
       F#               C#           Ab
When weather turns, and blue skies reappear
           C#   F#  C#
And you’re crestfallen
         F#             C#        Ab
Well you climb Mt. Desolation yet again
        F#             C#            Ab
And you find we’re all just ordinary men.

C#         F#       C#
Find some comfort in a bar
F#          C#        Ab
And hear the news from my brother
C#            F#      C#
He tore his happiness apart
    F#     C#            Ab
And says his heart won’t recover

         C#   F#          C#
Is this just a sign of our affairs
   Ab
I’m seeing
         C#    F#  C#
Cause we’ll still be here
       F#               C#           Ab
When weather turns, and blue skies reappear
           C#   F#  C#
And you’re crestfallen
         F#             C#        Ab
Well you climb Mt. Desolation yet again
        F#             C#            Ab
And you find we’re all just ordinary men
