Ab         Fm7       Bbm7      Eb7
  The sunlight stabs my eyes
Ab              Fm7             Bbm7        Eb7
  There’s birds perching on the powerlines
Ab         Fm7            Bbm7     Eb7
  I wonder if you woke in someone’s arms
             Cm7  Eb7      Ab
And if you’d ever consider mine

[Verse 2]

Ab            Fm7          Bbm7
  The swaying shades of acacias
          Eb Ab            Fm7
In flower a-rrangements suggest
Bbm7               Eb         Ab    Fm7
That it’s time for me to be a man
   Bbm7      Dbm    Cm7
Or else with what regrets
      Fm7   Bbm7         Eb
Would I be left to live forever

[Verse 3]

Ab                   Ab7    Ab            C7
  The sky hangs undisturbed like a static pond
                        Fm                 Ab7      Ab   Dbmaj7
Oh world, may you be preserved just as you are when I  return
Cm7                       Db C  Gb  Ab   Db
  The scent of evening air   is cinnamon sweet here
         Dbm7                       Dbm  Ab
But it’s lost on my lungs breathing in

[Verse 4]

Ab        Fm7        Bbm7
  The sunlight stabs my eyes
             Eb7
(It stabs my eyes)
Ab              Fm7            Bbm7             Bbm7
  There’s ferns running up the traffic signs outside
    Eb7
(Outside)
Ab           Fm7          Bbm7  Dbm      Cm
  I tell the ether all of my desires and she says
 Cm7   Eb      Abmaj7
“Maybe another time”
