Plans for the Future
guitar chords lyrics
Am
C F C Am
Daylight is fading like an awkward smile
E F C
Sun hides behind the west coast
Am E
I thought, I thought I knew
F C
I had everything figured out
Am E F C
'Til night came and I lost my shadow
Am E F C
Blended with moonlight and broken glass
Am E F C
Ten hours of panic will follow
Am E
I watch the trees look black
F C
My red shirt in is turning grey
Am E F C
Strange things just won't stop appearing!
E
Give me day, give me light
These days, those days
Am E F C
I was taught to bottle my emptiness
Am E F C
Deal with my quarter-life angst by painting pictures
Am E F C
Tip of my pencil describes what I might have drawn
Am E F C
Had my left brain and right hand been in contact
E
Broken section is now, read on
Dm G C Am
Then all at once, the sky started raining
Dm G C
Soaked to the bone, stopped!
Dm G C Am
People of nighttime, came out of hiding
Dm G C
One of them turned my way
Dm G
She said: "I'd like to tell you
C Am
Some things I wished I'd known
Dm G C
When I was young like you
Dm G
It won't take a second
C Am
But it could save you years
Dm G C
Years passed like seconds out here"
Use verse chords here:
I was enthralled with the way that
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scrapes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention
You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the (?)
What I would give for that, I hope you never know
C
So live your life!
Am
Don't sleep through the night!
Fmaj
Life's worth a living!
G
You gotta start living it right!
Am
So live your life!
C
Don't sleep through the day!
Fmaj
Dreams are for living!
G
You gotta stop letting them die
