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