ouuuh ouuuh ouuuh (x3)
Am C G
Honey I know I'm moving to fast,
Am C G
Walking over water, walking over stained glass
Am C G
Little white sparrows overhead,
Am C G
Fast as they fly away from here, baby i'd as soon be dead
Am C G
All life hillsides being torn down.
Am C G
Losing my mind, building all around.
Am C G D
It's too late, it's too late, I ain't gonna wait around
Am C G
Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall
Am C G
Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall
Am C G
Polish off some Ballentines and chase it with some gin

Am C G
Ten thousand scaffolds holding half a million kids.
Am C G (D)
I reached to grab a glowing rose but instead I burned my hand
Am C G
It was just a thousand moths covering a light, hoping they'd found land
Am C G D
Life could be a luxury if life forfeited time.
Am C G
Because all that time has done to me is give then take what's mine.
Am C G D
It's not mine, it's not mine, I ain't gonna waste more time.
Am C G
Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall
Am C G
Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall
Am C G
Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall...
Am C G
ouuuh ouuuh ouuuh
Am C G
Oh Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall
Am C G
Oh Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall
Am C G
Oh Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall
Am C G
Honey I'll be gone before the nightfall...
