      D     Gmaj7/D     D11    Em/D (Play Twice)

[Verse 1]

           D               Gmaj13                          D9   
During the time of which I speak it was hard to turn the other cheek
Gmaj13               Asus   A7
To the blows of insecurity
            D            Gmaj13                 D9        G
Feeding the cancer of my intellect the blood of love soon neglected
D9               G                     Asus       A7
Lay dying in the strength of it's impurity

[Chorus]
              G                             E7/G#
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
               Asus             A7       G   
They've all gone and left each other in search of fairer weather
       D                    G
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
A7sus           A7                D    A7/D   D   A7/D
To the slim chance of love's recovery.

[Verse 2]

D               G                D9  
There I am in younger days, star gazing,
         G                    D9         G                   Asus   A7
Painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be
                 D                 G           
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
    D                G                 
My compass, faith in love's perfection
D                    G                           Asus   A7
I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen

              G                             E7/G#
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
           Asus         A7           G
Left each other one by one in search of fairer weather
        D              G
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
A7sus           A7                D    A7/D   D   A7/D
To the slim chance of love's recovery.

[Bridge] 

A    Asus       A     Asus        C9
Rain soaked and voice choked like silent screaming in a dream
  D                       Bm/D         Bm/E7
I search for our absolute distinction
A   Asus       A       Asus        
Not content to bow and bend
       C9                      
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures
D               Bm/D
Eating us away, eating us away
G                     Asus        A
Eating us away to our extinction

[Verse 3]

         D             Gmaj13      D9                  G          
Oh how I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me
D9             G                   Asus   A7
I'd still have two of the same to live
           D               Gmaj13                 D9              G  
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal, as specks of dust we're universal
   D9             G                                          Asus   A7
To let this love survive would be the greatest gift we could give

             G                            E7/G#
Tell all the friends who think they're so together
               Asus         A7           G
That these are ghosts and mirages, these thoughts of fairer weather
            D            G                      A7sus    A7           
Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms 
          D          Em/D   D   Em/D   D
of love's discovery
