lyrics

From time to time Cmaj - Em7
I look up to the sky Am - Em7
I wondered how much more time left Fmaj - Em7
'Fore I'm through Dm7 - Dm7

You can crack a smile Cmaj - Em7
But it's me that's on the line Am - Em7
I'll thank you not to laugh Fmaj - Em7
Until I'm done. Dm7 - Dm7

This darkness grabs me Fmaj - Em7
Makes me afraid of the things Dm7 - Dm7
That I mighty say when Fmaj - Em7
Im feeling this way. Dm7 - Dm7

I push the stone up the hill Cmaj - Em7
Then beyond. Am - Em7
Working this hard's Fmaj - Em
Something that I know. Dm7 - Dm7

You ask me why we Fmaj - Em7
should persist Dm7 - Dm7
Honestly there's a risk Fmaj - Em7
That it'd turn out like this. Dm7 - Dm7

If there's no point left Fmaj - Em7
I'm going home. Dm7 - Dm7
And pull the down Fmaj - Em7
And sing... Dm7 - Dm7

Sad, sad, song Am - Am
What keeps me going on Cmaj - Cmaj
Sad,sad, song Am - Am
What keeps me going on Cmaj - Cmaj

Solo: Cmaj - Em7 - Am - Em7 - Fmaj - Em7 - Dm7 - Dm7 (x2)

Don't ask me why we should persist.
I'll confess.
It's never been as
Grim as this.

And if there's no point
To going on let's pull
The shade and sing
This sad, sad song
