C                               F               C 
When one year ends and another begins and the sky is a shower of sparks 
C                               G                
With your skinny girls arms with the hairs on their ends like exclamation marks 
C                               F               C 
Well I admit I was scared, I felt unprepared if I need you tell me where you'll be 
C               F       C       F       C       G       C 
You said “It's not surprising, just look to the horizon, it's the circle in the middle is me” 

C                               F               C 
A week in the hospital, always sick when you were little, you were brittle like butterfly bones 
C                               G 
I wish I had been there to run a comb through your hair - it always smelt like smoke and pine cones 
C                               F               C 
But then the devil shot through, you got stronger as you grew but they treat you like you're never 
 the same 
C               F       C       F       C       G       C 
You filled your one good lung and bit down hard on your tongue just to keep yourself from going 
 insane 

(Not sure about this part...) 
C       Am      F 
Oh       Oh     Oh 
G 
Oh 

(Interlude, the verses chords, Darren does much finger picking here in a guitar solo) 
C                               F               C 
C                               G                
C                               F               C 
C               F       C       F       C       G       C 

(Middle 8) 
G               C 
And the rides keep on turning 
G               C 
And our lives insist on turning 
G               C 
And my mind it keeps on learning 
C               F 
But I can smell something burning mmm 

C                               F               C 
Now in a minute or less I tried to confess every single thing I've learnt so far 
C                               G                
In a skirt that you'd stolen as the road was unrolling and unreelin' 'neath the wheels of the car 
C                               F               C 
No I haven't been drinking, I don't know what I was thinking but it really don't mean a thing 
C               F       C       F       C       G       C 
She said “do me a favour if you wanna be my saviour then you're gonna have to wait 'til the spring” 
C               F       C       F       C       G       C 
She said “do me a favour if you wanna be my saviour then you're gonna have to learn how to sing” 

Thanks, Justin, for getting me hooked on Darren Hanlon!
