Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]How [Dm]lovely a [Am]find[C]
That's [G]entered [A]my [Dm]mind
[Am]Along this [F]mossy [A]trail
[Dm]How [A]coiley it hide[C]s
The truth [G]about [A]how[Dm] it i[Am]s
We [F]can't ask [A]how

[Verse 2]
[F]Crowds jump to [Gm]their [Bb]death
From the bridge as I drive [F]by tonight
[C]And[F] they've missed out on it all[Gm]
The whole gist there as they [Bb]fall
You're not expected to [F]know
why it's such a [C]short time
And there are stanzas never
meant [Dm]to rhyme

[Verse 3]
Far [Am]better I [C]find
It is [G]when [A]we [Dm]try to s[Am]pan
The [F]weird di[A]vide
With [Dm]no re[A]al n[C]otion
We [F]step [G]out [A]of [Dm]bounds
And [Am]think and es[F]cape their [A]lies

[Verse 4]
[F]We've marched [Gm]so l[Bb]ong
And we've much farther than
we've [F]got to [C]go
[F]We're making a new [Gm]ship
Christen it for [Bb]the trip
With a toddler at the [F]helm this [C]time

[Interlude 1]
And there are things we will never will define
[Dm][A][C][G][Bb][F][G][A][Dm][A][C]
[G][Bb]
[F][G][A][Dm][Am][C]
[F][G][A][Dm][Am][F][A][Dm][A][C][F][G][A][Dm][Am]
[F][A]

[Verse 5]
[F]Crowds jump to [Gm]their [Bb]deaths
From the bridge as I drive by [F]tonight[C][F]
And they missed out on [Gm]it all
The whole gist there as they [Bb]fall
You're not expected to know
[F]why it's such a [C]short time

[Outro 1]
And there are things we will never will define
[Dm][A][C][G][Bb][F]
[G][A][Dm][A][C][G][Bb][F][G][A]
[A][A][A]
[A][A][A][A][A]
