But The Days And Nights Are Long by Cheryl Wheeler
Key:GG| Capo:3fr|
Intro: GCDsus2G
Well, life is short
C ~ Dsus2
But the days and nights are long
G
And time will heal all these wounds some day soon
CEmDsus2
I'll be rising, I'll be strong
CCadd9DEm
But now I'm losing all my battles
CCadd9Dsus2
Now I'm down and dropping still
G
And this snow's blowing through like some ghost
CEmCadd9Dsus2
With this blue I know too well
G
Broken hearts
C ~ Dsus2
Keep on beating just the same
G
So I guess I can too, go through these moves
CEmDsus2
Facing forward, walking straight
CCadd9DEm
But now my glance keeps drifting downward
CCadd9Dsus2
Now my feet can't find their way
G
And this cold's creeping in through my bones
CEmDsus2G
Whispering, it's here to stay
Instrumental: GCDGCDG
I'll bide my time
C ~ Dsus2
Like there's any other way
G
It moves too slow, moves too fast, it's gone and past
CEmDsus2
And stopped entirely today
CCadd9Dsus2Em
I know there's light on some horizon
CCadd9Dsus2
But I can't see so far ahead
G
Patience and grace, blessed is love, I'm loosing my faith
CEm
In most of that stuff those wise men said
GDCEmDsus2
Most of that stuff those wise men said
Outro:
G
Life is short
C
But the days and nights are long
