People's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like

And the clock still strikes
Midnight and noon

Db7XXXXXX F7XXXXXX
Even though I'm no longer in your arms
Bb7XXXXXX

But I thought all wrong, baby, I thought all wrong
The world did not end
Ab74XXXXXX
The maps will just have to stay the same for a while
Db7XXXXXX
Didn't even need therapy
F7XXXXXX
To rehabilitate my smile
Db7XXXXXX F7XXXXXX
Rehabilitate my smile
