Am   G6sus   Fmaj7   Em
Dm   C       G


Verse

Am                  G6sus       Fmaj7               Em 
Everybody wants the same thing, everybody wants the same thing

Dm             C         G
To see another birthday

Am                     G6sus    Fmaj7                  Em 
Look at all the pretty numbers, look at all the pretty numbers

Dm               C          G
Scattered on the calendars

Am           G6sus       Fmaj7        Em
I can see my reflection, I can see my reflection

Dm          C       G
In the shop window

Chorus

              C      Am                    Fmaj7         Em
Who owns that space,     declare it if you dare tonight

                     C     Am                Gsus  G
Don't let the moment pass      until another day

              C         Am                  Fmaj7           Em
Bright lights dissolve      like sugar deep inside you now

                   Dm            C             G
It all ends up the same somehow,    I'm hardly here at all

Am


Verse

Am                    G6sus     Fmaj7                 Em 
All the trash and the treasure, all the trash and the treasure

Dm                   C         G
All the pain and the pleasure

Am               G6sus    Fmaj7            Em 
Taste the edible flowers, taste the edible flowers

Dm               C           G
Scattered in the salad days
 

Chorus

              C      Am                    Fmaj7         Em
Who owns that space,     declare it if you dare tonight

                     C     Am                Gsus  G
Don't let the moment pass      until another day

              C         Am                  Fmaj7           Em
Bright lights dissolve      like sugar deep inside you now

                   Dm            C             G
It all ends up the same somehow,    I'm hardly here at all

                      Dm         C             G
And everything's gone quiet now,    I'm hardly here at all
