(A) Second sons are the (E) wandering ones

(A) Out of the blue when (E) I came to you 
I (Bm) brought my cross and (F#m) chain 
(D) I watched you paint your (A) canvas 
(E) out there standing in the rain 
 
(A) So many nights I (E) saw the light 
that (Bm) you held in your (F#m) hands 
(D) You never said that (A) much to me 
but I (E) came to understand 
 
Oh and (D) one night 
just around (A) midnight 
we were (F#m) drunk (E) and singing (D) songs (A) 
I said (D) my life goes by (A) 
and I'm (D) so afraid to (C#m) die 
you said (F#m) everything is (E) right before your (D) eyes 
but when it (Bm) changes now (E) don't you be (A) surprised (D)

but next time (E) I'd do it differently 
 
(A) I'll never forget the (E) night they came 
to (Bm) tell me that you'd be (F#m) gone 
(D) I wondered where the (A) light would come from (E) now 
to carry on 
 
Oh and (D) one night 
just around (A) midnight 
we were (F#m) drunk (E) and singing (D) songs (A) 
I said (D) my life goes by (A) 
and I'm (D) so afraid to (C#m) die 
you said (F#m) everything is (E) right before your (D) eyes 
but when it (Bm) changes now (E) don't you be (A) surprised (D)
