Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, G-D-Em-C progression]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter]
So this is the air that I've been braced for
Saw the earth today at the grocery store
This is the air, I feel like we made it
Sorry that I won't see you again
[Chorus]
[full band enters, electric guitar with light overdrive]
And I won't cry when no one does when everything just goes away
Everything just goes away, hey
And I won't cry when no one does when everything just goes away
And I won't cry when no one does when everything just goes away
Everything just goes away, hey
And I won't cry when all is gone cause everything just goes away
Everything just goes away, hey
And I won't cry when it gets dark cause everything just goes away
Everything just goes away, hey
[Verse 2]
[drums and bass drop out, acoustic guitar continues]
I got all those ancient feelings
I just want the world to smile
All my loved were garden feelings
Gone on a rope or on a vine
[Chorus]
[full band re-enters]
And I won't cry when no one does in the end it's both of us
In the end it's both of us, ah
In the end it's both of us, ah
And I won't cry when it gets dark in the end it's both of us
In the end it's both of us, ah
And I won't cry when it gets dark in the end it's both of us
In the end it's both of us, ah
[Bridge]
[vocalizing melody: da-ba-da-da]
[electric guitar plays melodic lead line]
You got to be somebody's baby
Got to be somebody's friend
And all those mysteries will come and sit amongst the trees
Stand till the story ends
And all those mysteries will come and sit amongst the trees
Stand till the story ends
[Verse 3]
I got all these reasons for loving you
They're long and they fill up my mind
The world just smiled and said it's got a second chance
[Outro]
[Chorus melody repeats]
And I won't cry when things get dark cause everything just goes away
Everything just goes away, hey
And I won't cry when things get dark and everything just goes away
Everything just goes away, hey
And I won't cry when we get dark cause everything just goes away
Everything just goes away, hey
And I won't cry when things get dark cause everything just goes away
Everything goes away
[acoustic guitar final strum]
