Fm7          G           Gsus4       G
There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings
unfurled

The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
And your kiss on the lips of
Another
Dream, brother with your tears scattered round
The world

Chorus:
 A#6                           Cm6
Don't be like the one who made me so old
          D7                         D#maj7
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
              A#6                     Cm6
Cause they're waiting for you, like I waited for mine
     D7          D#maj7
And nobody ever came - x3

I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of
Another
Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round
Forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
