Walk The Last Mile

Lyrics and Chords

C#min7

I am shipwrecked in the night

Amaj9

I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice

C#min7

Say, “Dive into these pools of blue”

Amaj7                   F#min7

But I tripped over you

C#min7

I curse these cool whispering lights

Amaj9

I curse the things that keep me from you

C#min7

Again my patience makes the climb

C#min7

Will my tears buy me time?

Amaj7                                                 C#min7

In your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told

B                 Amaj7                                           F#min7

I never thought that I could feel so old

B                        Amaj7                                      F#min7

You’re at the centre of everything I do

Amaj7                       B                                            C#min7

Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

C#min7

I heard you say “Dissolve in my arms

Amaj7

And run to fall in these meadows”

C#min7

But you’re just a memory

Amaj7                   F#min7

From a mocking old dream

C#min7

But I cling to my dreams

Amaj7

I’m drawn to things that kill me

C#min7

It’s safer to pretend

Amaj7                   F#min7

But I’ll deceive myself again

Amaj7                                                 C#min7

In your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told

B                 Amaj7                                           F#min7

I never thought that I could feel so old

B                        Amaj7                                      F#min7

You’re at the centre of everything I do

Amaj7                       B                                            C#min7

Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

Amaj7                       B                                            C#min7

I’ve seen the whole world turn to gold

F#min7                      B                 C#min(E bass)

It’s just like a fairground ride

Amaj7                              B

Sometimes it turns out

C#min7

That the tyrants are the pearls

Amaj7                                   B

You’ll always know, someone loves you in this world

SOLO ; Chorus Chords

C#min7                                      Amaj7

I want you to burn like I burn

C#min7                                      Amaj7

I want you to burn like I burn

C#min7

I wake up in the harsh light

Amaj7

Spilled my heart in a cold night

C#min7

I’ve got too much time to kill

Amaj7                   F#min7

I wrote you’re name upon my wall

Amaj7                                                 C#min7

In your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told

B                 Amaj7                                           F#min7

I never thought that I could feel so old

B                        Amaj7                                      F#min7

You are the centre of everything I do

Amaj7                       B                                            C#min7

Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

Lyrics

I am shipwrecked in the night
I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice
Say, “Dive into these pools of blue”
But I tripped over you
I curse these cool whispering lights
I curse the things that keep me from you
Again my patience makes the climb
Will my tears buy me time?

In your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You’re at the centre of everything I do
Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

I heard you say “Dissolve in my arms
and run to fall in these meadows”
But you’re just a memory
From a mocking old dream
But I cling to my dreams
I’m drawn to things that kill me
It’s safer to pretend
But I’ll deceive myself again

I your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You’re at the centre of everything I do
Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

I’ve seen the whole world turn to gold
It’s just like a fairground ride
Sometimes it turns out
That the tyrants are the pearls
You’ll always know, someone loves you in this world

I want you to burn like I burn
I want you to burn like I burn

I wake up in the harsh light
Spilled my heart in a cold night
I’ve got too much time to kill
I wrote you’re name upon my wall

I your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You’re at the center of everything I do
Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you
