Verse

Out on the edge of darkness The children waited for sunrise
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Something they could believe in Something to see with their own eyes
Chorus
[C] [C/G] [G] [D] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Their moms and dads remembered 'Cause they had seen a different time
[D] [D/F#] [Am] [C] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [D/F#]
A time of sunny mornings Walking to school and saving dimes
Verse
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
And yet the leaves are falling Gathered in piles to burn outside
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Somehow the smoke is calling Somehow the embers will decide
Chorus
[C] [C/G] [G] [D] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
And that's not the way of being It's not the way of being now
[D] [D/F#] [Am] [C] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [D/F#]
Too much has changed around us But we can bring it back somehow

Verse
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
I need to talk to someone Someone who smiles and answers back

Someone as old as I am Who still remembers some of that
Chorus
[C] [C/G] [G] [D] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
I dream a way of living A way of sharing what we find
[D] [D/F#] [Am] [C] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [D/F#]
A way of walking slowly Through the smokey leaves of time
Verse
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
When I woke up this morning I heard a melody and a rhyme
Verse
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
I knew the song was over But I couldn't find the time
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
The words just tumbled forward In this second song of mine
Interlude
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Verse
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Drifting in a sea of darkness The captain waited for sunrise
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Thought he saw a mermaid comin' Off the bow and rubbed his eyes
Chorus
[C] [C/G] [G] [D] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Thought he saw a distant glowin' Songbirds playin' in the sky
[D] [D/F#] [Am] [C] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [D/F#]
But his eyes were playin' tricks on him In his heart, he wondered why

[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em] (x4)
Verse
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Cross town at the incubator Eggs were hatchin' everywhere
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Those birds would soon be flyin' They knew that's when they'd feel the air
Chorus
[C] [C/G] [G] [D] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
We won't remember them 'Cause we're the ones who didn't care
[D] [D/F#] [Am] [C] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [D/F#]
Now when we think of them We hear their songs sung everywhere
Verse
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
The world needs all her song birds She needs her music in the sky
[G] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Guiding souls both in and out Showing weakness how to fly
Chorus
[C] [C/G] [G] [D] [G] [Em] [Esus2] [Em]
Not like that TV show Not like the words on channel five
[D] [D/F#] [Am] [C] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [D/F#]
Somethin' that makes you smile Somethin' that makes you fly
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
Outro

Make it up on another day - Baby, I don't care
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
Make it up on another day - Baby, I don't care .....
