Nights Become Days

E

E                           A
We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar

        B                           A       F#m
When nights become days and you've gone too far

E                             A                 B               A
We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day

           E                A
You said, “London in summertime is great,

    B                         A         F#m
On days like this I feel like I could escape

        E                       A
From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.

     B          A       F#m
I'd wash it all away”

A                               E          A                            E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

A                               E               A   Amaj7 A             E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one  of   us would start again

E                           A
It started out curious, it started out fun

        B                   A        F#m
We smoked in the woods when we were young

E                             A
And secretly slipped something under our tongues

B               A
And danced the night away

           E                A
And everyone stumbles on old cocaine

    B                         A             F#m
It burns out the flesh, and it burdens the brain

        E                    A                     B                    A       F#m
‘Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way

A                               E          A                            E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end

A                               E               A   Amaj7 A             E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one  of   us would start again

F#m                         B
Sink in the river for your death

F#m                         B
Sleep with the fishes, draw no breath

F#m                         B
Swallow forever ‘til nothing's left

        F#m
Take no rest

F#m                 B   F#m                     E                       F#m
Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting

F#m                 B   F#m                     E                       F#m
Just cast your eyes down to the floor you'll see us here, we're waiting

F#m                                 B
Don't sink in the river for your death

F#m                                         B
You could sleep in the shade and draw some breath

F#m                                         B
Could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left

                F#m             E               A
Please draw breath, please draw breath

                        E               A
Let's let nights become days

    E    A    E   B   F#m      A     B
So come down kid the roofs not safe now

 E    A    E      B   F#m  B  A   B     A  F#m  A
All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
