C
I saw it all, happened on the golden sheets
       C
In the morning, you were asleep
                C
Hazy in your golden days

[Verse 2]
C             Bb
  There was a child
              C               Bb
Moving on her mother's breast
               C             Bb
Breathing only   dust in the light
                   C
But you know it's awfully hard to dream

C Bb Am F (x2)

[Verse 3]
C
I was a knight in my mother's arms
                  C             Bb     Am  F
Black as mourning   wearing the lights
              C
Glowing so my sister could see

[Verse 4]
C          Bb  Am
 I felt it all
                  C            Bb Am
But you know it's awfully hard       to talk about it
C         Bb   Am F
 Try to recall
                     C        Bb  Am   F
The girls when I was seventeen  A dream

[Chorus]
C                  Bb
Know this can't be right
          Am
But it's awfully hard to fight
                C                Bb
When it's going quickly and it's like
      Am     F
We're half asleep
                C             Bb
There's no rosy almost days behind
      Am
These painted lady eyes
              C               Bb
Let it go and all that they imply
    Am   F
Get over me

[Verse 5]
C       G     F  Dm
 I was afraid
       C            G  F
When I left my home
              C             Bb     Am F
And my mother   sadness, my friend
            C          Bb   Am  F
She used to play for me    and sing

C G F Dm (x4)

[Chorus]
C                  Bb
Know this can't be right
          Am
But it's awfully hard to fight
                C                Bb
When it's going quickly and it's like
      Am     F
We're half asleep
                C             Bb
There's no rosy almost days behind
      Am
These painted lady eyes
              C               Bb
Let it go and all that they imply
    Am   F
Get over me

[Outro]
     C             Bb
It's hard to talk about
     Am
When inside you're freaking out
                C               Bb
When it's going quickly and you doubt
       Am F
You're anything
                 C               Bb
But it's what we have instead of God
        Am
What we have instead of God
        C               Bb
What we have instead of God
      Am F
We're anything
                 C               Bb
But it's what we have instead of God
        Am
What we have instead of God
        C               Bb
What we have instead of God
      Am F
We're anything
        C               Bb
What we have instead of God
         Am
Like the moment after love
                  C              Bb
When we know we finally kill the buzz
   Am     F
So we can sleep
           C              Bb
And we can finally let it lie
          Am
While the days keep passing by
               C                Bb
Carried on the little deaths we die
     Am     F
Then we can sleep
