Bm Could not D Could not make it up Sitting in the garden Listening to the radio Bm D Cinder forming into great clouds What's it to me anyhow? Bm Wish I knew D How to tell you the mess I'm in Love is that the final sound? Bm D Strangeness passing deep inside me Chorus: Em D What's with the face A With the half mast frown? Em D If I give up A Do I give up now? Em D What's with the face Bm A With the half mast frown? Em D If I give up A Do I give up now? Goodnight Goodnight getting out alive What's it to me anyhow? Colours shifting like a landslide So many times I've seen myself in the breaker yard Love is that the final sound? Now I see the fear in your eyes loud Chorus: What's with the face With the half mast frown? If I give up Do I give up now? What's with the face With the half mast frown? G Bm Whistling wind G Strange to me Bm Whistling wind, ah G Bm Whistling wind A G Strange to me Bm Whistling wind G Strange to me Bm Whistling wind, ah G Bm Whistling wind A Strange to me Could not Could not make it up Sitting in the garden Listening to the radio Mumbling the words Like the first time around Wish I knew Wish I knew the words to this one Love is that the final sound?
