[Verse 2]
The nurture an[G]d the admoni
[Em]tion of [Am]your kind
The rules of [Em]only strong sur[C]vive
Cross shaped [G]swimming pools,
Down [Em]in the blood and lifted up
[Am]Forever seek[Em]ing favor
from the light
[C]

[Verse 3]
Schoolhouse hallway like
[D]a prairie highway sprawls
[G]The drop off[D] spins away
[Em]the sun[C]
The getting there just proves

[G]Pray the horizon[D] never comes

[Verse 4]
The hearts of the daugh[G]ters [Em]of the men,
[Am]Won by the softness of[Em]
[C]the sons of women's hands
To leave it [G]up to love would [Em]leave

[Interlude 3]
it left to chance
[Em][Am][Em][C]

[Verse 5]
Memory [G]only shows [Em]the prom
ise beauty broke
[Am]Of beauty agel[Em]ess in it's time[C]
Light at[G]tracts the same,
[Em]you glance away and the glory fades
And [Am]being on your [Em]arm

[Interlude 4]
has lost it's shine
[C]

[Verse 6]
School house [C]hallway like [D]a prairie
highway [G]sprawls
The drop off [D]spins away the sun
[Em]Like[C] eyes that once
could cut through
[Am]Candle [D]power on autumn nights
[G]First air of au [D]tumn leaves me numb[Em]
