Verse 1:

         Dm     F      Am

You're a senior double major

             Bb       Gm

You got such big ideas

        Dm        F     Am

We were searching for a savior

            Bb                     Gm(hold)

To guide us through those restless years





Chorus:

   F

If only I could steal you away

           Am

From those paths we were led astray

        Dm

I would take back all those things I said

     Bb

That new year's day

   F

If only I could make you see

     Am

That all those dreams belonged to me

    Dm

I'd take back all those things I said

     Bb

That new year's day

    Dm      F      Am

The October autumn twilight

             Bb           Gm

The chilling of our breath

      Dm          F       Am

I had dreams I've found redemption

      Bb             Gm

And a past full of regret

        Dm        F     Am

And the clouds on the horizon

            Bb             Gm

Look like a thousand paper cranes

      Dm         F

And I heard your voice

    Am                   Bb  Gm

But couldn't scream your name



(Repeat Chorus)

  So let's drink to forgiveness

Let's drink for regret

                   Bb

Let's drink to the ones we've loved and lost

                Dm

Let us never forget

             C                        Bb

The mannequin shields her glowing eyes

              Bb

We'll all too human, yeah

                       Dm-F-Am

We're always searching on

           Bb         Gm              Dm-F-Am--Bb--Gm

Until that gift of isolation has been won
