Verse 1

C C

In every movie I watch from the ’50s there’s only one thought

Fmaj7 Fmaj7

that swirls around my head now

C C

and that’s that everyone there on the screen, yeah, everyone there

Fmaj7 Fmaj7

on the screen, well, they’re all dead now, they’re all dead now.

Verse 2

C C

And it ain’t easy living above and I can’t help but keep falling in love

with bones and ashes, with bones and ashes.

C C

And when the color is too bold and bright I’m daydreaming in black and white

Fmaj7 Am G

until it passes, until it passes.

Am Dm Dm C F

I wanna know the measure from here to forever.

And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever.

Verse 3

C C

Oh, these days it’s so hard to relax, you gotta hold a gun to my back

to make me smile, to make me smile.

And the only way I seem to cope is by trying to hold onto hope

Fmaj7 Am G

if just for a while, if just for a while.

Chorus 2

Am Dm Dm C F

I wanna know the measure from here to forever.

and I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever.
