The Oncoming Day

E Over there the row of trees E Is merging in with the evening G D A And then blackness consumes the forest G D A Within there lies a glade G D A E And a flattened impression of the love that we made E When I was young I used to watch TV E Now people love to tell me it was all fantasy G D A But they made it seem so real G D A They made it seem so possible G D A E Don't ask me to forget them because I won't E I'll visit the glade and I'll watch TV E Is sustaining past illusion just insanity G D A When it makes me so much braver G D A I can turn to the world and say G D A E I'm strong enough to face the oncoming day E Sitting alone at night in my dark bedroom E Trying to explain myself in a song to you G D A When a weird burning shape from a headlight outside G D A Slid from the ceiling to behind the piano to hide G D A E Then extinguished itself on the carpet and died E The stars mingle inseparably E With the lights of houses that I seen G D A The shadows of the leaves on the walls shiver G D A In a vivid twisted frame of grey G D A From a streetlight outside, its time nearly expired E To make way for the oncoming day D A No one D A No one D G D A No one can take your memory away from me D G Some days D G D G D A I say will I give in to the oncoming day E The oncoming day E I think of words to tell you E I find nothing fine enough to say E Nothing worth anything, nothing worth nothing E Nothing left in this lump of grey G D A That even vaguely says I love you G D A In a way that pleases me G D A E So I'll let the oncoming day say it for me G D A And in the days that followed G D A In the back of my mind G D A E The black skies sunk on distant countries D A No one D A No one D G D A No one can take your memory away from me D G No way D G D G D A No way will I give in to the oncoming day E The oncoming day
