When one year ends and another begins and the sky is a shower of sparks
C G
With your skinny girls arms with the hairs on their ends like exclamation marks
C F C
Well I admit I was scared, I felt unprepared if I need you tell me where you'll be
C F C F C G C
You said “It's not surprising, just look to the horizon, it's the circle in the middle is me”
C F C
A week in the hospital, always sick when you were little, you were brittle like butterfly bones
C G
I wish I had been there to run a comb through your hair - it always smelt like smoke and pine cones
C F C
But then the devil shot through, you got stronger as you grew but they treat you like you're never
the same
C F C F C G C
You filled your one good lung and bit down hard on your tongue just to keep yourself from going
insane
(Not sure about this part...)
C Am F
Oh Oh Oh
G
Oh

And the rides keep on turning
G C
And our lives insist on turning
G C
And my mind it keeps on learning
C F
But I can smell something burning mmm
C F C
Now in a minute or less I tried to confess every single thing I've learnt so far
C G
In a skirt that you'd stolen as the road was unrolling and unreelin' 'neath the wheels of the car
C F C
No I haven't been drinking, I don't know what I was thinking but it really don't mean a thing
C F C F C G C
She said “do me a favour if you wanna be my saviour then you're gonna have to wait 'til the spring”

She said “do me a favour if you wanna be my saviour then you're gonna have to learn how to sing”
