Lift
====
A
And I can feel from the way you hold me,
DE7
That your somewhere else,
A
You're leafing through my pages,
DE
Leaving me up on the shelf
Pre Chorus:
==========
F#mE
How long will this go on,
F#mE7
Before you leave.
Chorus:
======
AE
We squander invaluable time,
F#m
Drifting on a cloudy sea,
D
Aimlessly,
AE
And ponder the nursery rhyme,
F#m
Feeling like/that we might be free,
D
Thoughtlessly,
EF#m
Eyes wide open never to see,
D
No future,
A
All we are is history.
Verse2:
======
I open up a heart for sale,
But open up the door as well.
Lift2
=====
And if you leave please just leave,
And don't pretend that it's just you.
I'm finishing this chapter,
So I can start a new.
How long will this go on,
'Till I'm alone.
Chorus2:
=======
We squander invaluable time,
Thinking that we hold the key,
Foolishly,
And wander, through life in design,
Dressed up like a Christmas tree,
Shamelessly,
The tragedy, the comedy,
No future,
All we are is history.
