Chorus

   Am7b5        Bm                Em
I believe this rain won’t last forever
      C         D             Em 
Can I tame this lonely nights parade

I can change my oath for this endeavor
     C       D            C       D             D     G/B   G/C
Am I sane or lying,  Am I sane or lying, to the shade
       D     G/B   G/C
To the shade

Verse 2
Wasting lies, a fragrant speech
Passengers fasten to their grief
Skipping upon a bridge of glass
Confident and frightened they lead through the path

Guitar lead over verse chord progression 3X 
Then chorus progression, then verse progression again

Verse 3
Alone in the night nothing seems to be learned
Out in the distance a faint cry is heard
A wishing well, with a bucket that weeps
Wishing to drink from the well at its feet

Chorus
