_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ I'll build a place along the coast [Ab] with open fields and [Eb] empty roads [Cm] and I'll be [Ab] ready for whatever [Eb] comes.
_ _ A flask of wine next to the [Ab] drapes and every day will feel [Cm] the same but that's just how
I [Ab] like it anyway.
[Eb] _
And _ [Bb] it won't be hard to fall [Cm]
asleep, my [Ab] dear, _ [Bb] we'll have no problem counting [Ab] sheep.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _
[Ab] Don't you [Eb] forget _ me _
[Cm] when [Ab] skies will fall. _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Two hounds [Cm] _ [Ab] who lost [Eb] it all.

_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ We know this happens all the time, [Cm] we see the tears, we see the crying, [Ab] but nobody [Bb] expects
it will [Eb] be them.
The _ _ world is full of innocence, [Cm] so many lovely citizens, [Ab] but that's too much [Bb] for death to
[Eb] understand.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
I'm right here next to [Ab] you.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb]
Don't let me go so [C] soon.
[Ab] Don't you [Eb] forget _ me [C] _ [Ab] when skies [Eb] will fall.
_ [C] _ [Ab] And _ [Eb]
as two hounds [C] _ [Ab] who lost [Eb] it all.
_ _ _ Monitors _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Ab] me and in her [Bb] mind she holds the [Eb] hand of _ _ the dark who said, [Cm] the stars are not
so bright [Ab] tonight.
I don't [Bb] think I could live to [Eb] see her gone.
_ _ _ [C] Don't [Eb] you forget _ [C] me [Ab] when [Eb] skies will _ fall.
[C] _ _ [Ab] And [Eb]
I'm there to [C] help the [Ab] ones who lost it [Eb] all.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] They see right [Ab] through me.
