Lirik Lagu The Center Of The World – Bright Eyes

[Intro]

F#

 

[Verse 1]

F# A#m

At the center of the world G#m

There’s a statue of a girl B

She is standing near a well C# F#

With a bucket bare and dry

 

[Verse 2] A#m

I went and looked her in the eyes G#m

And she turned me into sand B

This clumsy form that I despise C# F#

It scattered easy in her hand

 

[Verse 3] A#m

And came to rest upon a beach G#m

With a million others there B

We sat and waited for the sea C# F#

To stretch out so that we could disappear

 

[Refrain] A#m

Into the endlessness of blue G#m

Into the horror of the truth B

You see we are far less than we knew C# D#m

Yeah, we are far less than we knew

 

[Bridge] B

But we knew what we could taste D#m

Girls found honey to drench our hands A#

Men cut marble to mark our graves F#

Said we’ll need something to remind us of A#

All the sweetness that has passed through us

 

(Fresh sangria and lemon tea) D#m

The priests dressed children for a choir

 

(White-robed small voices praise Him) A#

But found no joy in what was sung B C# F#

The funeral had begun

 

[Refrain] A#m

In the middle of the day G#m

When you drive home to your place B

From that job that makes you sleep C# F#

Back to the thoughts that keep you awake A#m

Long after night has come to claim G#m

Any life that still remains B

In the corner of the frame C# F#

That you put around her face

 

[Outro] A#m

Two pills just weren’t enough G#m

The alarm clock’s going off

 

But you’re not waking up B C#

This isn’t happening happening happening happening happening F#

It is
