🎸 Verse 1:
Am D7
Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end
Am G
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
Am C
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same
D7 Gmaj7
Rises the moon
🎸 Verse 2:
Am D7
Days fade into a watercolour blur
Am G
Memories swim and haunt you
Am C
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
D7 Gmaj7
Rises the moon
🎸 Chorus:
G G7 Am
Oh close your weary eyes
C D7
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
G G7 Am
To darken fading summer skies
C Gmaj7
Breathe breathe breathe
🎸 Verse 3:
Am D7
Days pull you down just like a sinking ship
Am G
Floating is getting harder
Am C
But tread the water child, and know that meanwhile
D7 Gmaj7
Rises the moon
🎸 Verse 4:
Am D7
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Am G
Uprooted from its garden
Am C
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
D7 Gmaj7
Rises the moon
🎸 Chorus:
G G7 Am
You'll be visited by sleep
C D7
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
G G7 Am
To steal away each dream you keep
C Gmaj7
Breathe breathe breathe
