Half Life

Bm                Em       F#     Bm
It’s not like I want it back again
                 Em       F#     Bm
It’s not like I want the sky to open
                 Em       F#        Bm
And rain down in visions of black again
                 Em       F#        Bm
But now that the Sun has finally broken through
        Em    F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
        Em    F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
       Em    F#        Bm
The sky is perfectly blue

[Verse 2]

Em F# Bm

                 Em         F#            Bm
The wind comes and whips the trees bare again
                 Em         F#            Bm
The wind comes, exposing secrets of the form
       Em         F#            Bm
Part of me wants to be there again
        Em         F#            Bm
Restless, naked, howling for the dawn
    Em      F#        Bm
I’m not invoking a storm
    Em      F#        Bm
I’m not invoking a storm
    Em      F#        Bm
The air is perfectly warm

[Verse 3]

Em F# Bm

          Em         F#          Bm
It’s not like I want it back again
       Em    F#            Bm
Chaos can find another lover
              Em         F#            Bm
It’s not like I’m wearing all black again
                Em               F#             Bm
The days come sweet, but are they cutting through?
      Em      F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
      Em      F#        Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
  Em        F#         B
The sky is perfectly blue

[Bridge]

Ahh..   Ahh
B Bm F# D#m

             G#m               F#
If it’s not Love then make it pain
                  Bb                  B
Not some sort of Half Life I can’t explain
             G#m               F#
And if it’s peace then make it real
                  Bb                  B
Not this sort of numbness I cannot feel
             G#m               F#
Take all my joy but leave me my fears
                  Bb                  D#m
This sort of Half Life bores me to tears
               G#m
So bring me rapture
               F#
And bring me bliss
                Bb
Or take it all away
                     F#
But don’t leave me this

[Verse 4]

Bm          Em         F#            Bm
It’s not like I want it back again
             Em         F#            Bm
It’s not like I want my heart ripped open
        Em         F#            Bm
In some sort of vicious attack again
             Em            F#               Bm
But now that the Sun has finally broken through
      Em         F#      Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
      Em         F#       Bm
There’s not a lot I can do
      Em     F#       Bm
The sky is perfectly blue
