Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Just  take a pebble and cast  it to the sea,
Then  watch the ripples that unfold  into me,
 My face  spill so gently into  your eyes,
 Disturbing  the waters of our lives.
Shread  of our memories are lying  on your grass;
Wounded  words of laughter are graveyards  of the past.
 Photographs  are grey and torn, scattered  in your  fields
 Letters  of your mem'ries are  not  real.
 -KEYBOARD SOLO
 -GUITAR RITHMICS (changes the bass in the arpeggio and then bends the minor third) IN D
 -KEYBOARD SOLO IN F
Sadness  on your shoulders like a wornout  overcoat
In  pockets creased and tattered hang the  rags of your hope.
 The daybreak  is your midnight; the colours have  all died.
Disturbing  the waters of our lives, of our lives,  of our lives,  lives,
lives...
 Of our lives.

[Em]Just take a pebble and [F#m]cast it to the sea,
[Em]Then watch the ripples that [F#m]unfold into me,
My f[A5]ace spill so gently [G5]int[D5]o y[A]our [G5]eyes,
Distu[A5]rbing the waters of our [C]li[B]ve[E]s.

[Em]Shread of our memories are l[F#m]ying on your grass;
[Em]Wounded words of laughter are gr[F#m]aveyards of the past.
Ph[A5]otographs are grey and torn, sc[G5]att[D5]ere[A]d in your[G5] fields
L[A5]etters of your mem'ries ar[C]e n[B]ot r[E]eal.

[Em]Sadness on your shoulders like a w[F#m]ornout overcoat
[Em]In pockets creased and tattered hang t[F#m]he rags of your hope.
The d[A5]aybreak is your midnight; the c[G5]olours [D5]hav[A]e all [G5]died.
[A5]Disturbing the waters of our lives, of ou[C]r [B]li[E]ves, of [C]ou[B]r [A]li[G]ves, lives,
[F]lives...
Of our l[Em]ives.
