[Intro]

Bm G Bm
Bm G A


[Verse 1]

    Bm   D           A        D
The only lights they leave on here
        A
are the exit signs
                          G    D
who’s the next in line to go?
Bm    D         A        D
Empty floors, reflective glass
        A
You can see this future knows no past
    G                 D
you know what’s going on
                        Em
there’s nothing left to do
            Bm                    G
But roll on through, and beyond, down the road
    A
You go then you’re gone


[Chorus]

           Bm               A    G
Around the bend to the next blue sky
            D                      A
This is the sound of me saying goodbye
           Bm               A    G
Around the bend to the next blue sky
            D                      A
This is the sound of me saying goodbye


[Post-Chorus]

Bm G Dsus2
Bm G A


[Verse 2]

   Bm         D            A     D
We walk these streets with tired eyes
    A
To find something we recognize
     G             D
This used to be my town
         Bm   D         A      D
Like the dominos in the middle rows
        A
Not the first to go
A
or the last to know
   G        D
We all fall down
      Em
If I can’t get a witness
         Bm
Can I at least get a drink?
        G
Raise a glass to the last
      A
As we step cross the brink


[Chorus]

           Bm               A    G
Around the bend to the next blue sky
            D                      A
This is the sound of me saying goodbye
           Bm               A    G
Around the bend to the next blue sky
            D                      A
This is the sound of me saying goodbye
           Bm               A    G     D    A
Around the bend to the next blue sky


[Bridge]

Bm     G          Em
In our western dreams
         G  A
We could do no wrong
Bm     G            Em       A           D
And it feels alright til the lights come on

[Outro]

     Em             Dsus2
The sun was setting on the west
    G                     A
The birds were singing in every tree

           Bm          N.C.      Bm   A G   D   A
Around the bend to the next blue sky

Bm   A G   D   A

           Bm       A      G
Around the bend the sun is shining
            D                   A
This is the sound of the future rewinding

Bm   A G   D   A

Bm   A G   D   A
               Around the Bend

Bm   A G   D   A

Bm   A G   D   A
