Blow the candles out raise glass to the night
Let all the tension out you've been wound up so tight
It's a tender trap to plan ahead all the time
If you measure the world by what you leave behind
Welcome to the saving grace
Welcome to the saving grace
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
C Keep the B7 glass topped up Em it's not Em9 over just yet
Pull off the social bluff cele brate your success
Turn the sunlight out find place in the shade
C If you B7 measure the Em world by the Em9 mark that you make
Welcome to the G saving grace
Welcome to the G saving grace
C There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
nanana nananana
nanana nananana
nanana nananana
nanana nananana
C If you B7 measure the Em world by what Em9 you leave behind
Welcome to the G saving grace
Welcome to the G saving grace
C There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
Reappearing as we go
Reappearing as we go
There's sunset on the road
Welcome to the saving grace
