[Am7]He had time [Em]on his hands
[D]He carried the [Am7]world on his shoulders
[Em]He said meet me [D]at the Hudson's edge
[Am7]Help me [Em]roll my boulder
[D]Remember when I [Am7]went down, runnin' down
[Em]I took the [D]B61 across town
[Em]To where he was [D]waiting at the ice house
[D]Wish it [Am7]was my house
[D]Took me out [Am7]back for a drink
[Em]Showed me the [D]heart on his sleeve
[Am7]Love is a [Em]daily good thing
[D]I see it [Am7]in your smolder
[Em]I can't feel [D]it in my hands
[Am7]And I'm wringing them [Em]more now I'm older
[D]Remember when I [Am7]went down, runnin' down
[Em]I took the [D]B61 across town
[Am7]To where you were [Em]waiting at the ice house
[D]Wish it [Am7]was my house
[D]Took me out [Am7]back for a drink
[Am7]Showed me the [Em]heart on your sleeve
[D]Like ships in the night [Am7]we go down without light
[Am7]And we burn [Em]up all our anthracite
[D]And try to [Am7]make a spark
[Em]Find a crack and let it [D]in, it'll come, it might be dim
[D]Adjust your eyes, [Am7]I know you can
[Em]You'll find me [D]in the dark
[Am7]How will I know if [Em]I'm the last one alive?
[Am7]I'm the [Em]last one alive
[Am7](I'm the last one alive, [Em]I'm the last one alive)
[D]For forty-one days [Am7]and as many nights
[Em]I'll be standing [D]where we stood
[Am7]Under an [Em]indigo sky
[D]Watching flames [Am7]jump from firewood
