Sunset
Capo II
E B A E
Everything is slippin' away by the minute
B A E
If I recall right I never asked to be down in it
B A E
I used to hit the strings 'til my fingers were sore
B A E
I once heard her voice and now it don't flow anymore
B A E
I pull the cord from the jack, let it fall to the floor
The first time we met we walked under the moonlight
She spilled her guts as she took my hand held it so tight
I was the first one she told how the world would end
The kind of talk you'd only have with an intimate friend
I can't remember where it stops and where it begins
Chorus:
A E
She said someday the sun will burn out
B E
and the beauty will know no bound
A E
the sunset to end all sunsets
B A E
such a shame no one will be around
B A E
to hold hands and watch it all go down
It's gonna be a long hard winter I can tell
I stole the covers off the bed of a local hotel
I got her voice in my head every night every day
The kind of memory sometimes I wish would go away
I can't ignore it cause I know she was right in a way
Chorus:
A E
She said someday when we're dead and gone
B E
God will put the final chorus on
A E
and the last note to fizzle and die
B A E
will be the sound of a baby cryin
B A E
such a shame no one will be around
B A E
to hold hands and watch it all go down
Interlude
Chorus:
A E
She said someday the sun will burn out
B E
and the beauty will know no bound
A E
the sunset to end all sunsets
B A E
such a shame no one will be around
B A E
to hold hands and watch it all go down
B A E
to hold hands and watch it all go down
B A E
to hold hands and watch it all go down
