Bitter Beauty

G D To recall this time D For you and I to come together Am C To recognise Just how badly our hearts were broken G D All the flowers fade Am Now the stars pale Am As this bitter beauty C Grabs you by the tail G How long will you hesitate? D Halfway up the trail Am Yes, it's dark in the trees C And some wounds never heal G And you're dreaming D With eyes wide open Am Your heart has spoken C For the first time G All the gun-for-hire poets D Who try to sing so loud Am Just to drown out the roar C As the bombs hit the ground G And the band is whistling Dixie D For the sentimental sake Am That's the sound and the fury C Of this new dark day G And you're dreaming D With eyes wide open Am Your heart has spoken C For the first time G For the first time G D Am C G D All the penny wishes Am And trickle-down schemes Am And Cracker Jack box prizes C Splitting at the seams G And you're stand in the doorway D Am With your hair all in a mess Am You in all your glory C Wondering what comes next G And you're dreaming D With eyes wide open Am Your heart has spoken C For the first time G And you're dreaming D With eyes wide open Am Your heart has spoken C For the first time G And you're dreaming D With eyes wide open Am Your heart has spoken C For the first time G For the first time
