Well, Hello
capo: third fret, key of Bbmaj
G Cmaj7 D9
when you speak, you drown out the pain
when you laugh, all these miles they seem like inches
and tonight as we part ways, my love
save your breath
save all your goodbyes
yeah, tonight
don't you cry
don't even say goodbye
you turn your head away
I turn it back again and kiss your eyes
don't ever say goodbye
I'm here and I don't plan on leaving you behind
no don't say goodbye
save your breath
someday we'll say hello again
but until then your silence tells me all I need to know

Cold or Nod
wake up children
no time to rub your eyes
no time to sort it out
wake to sinking
death can't hold you under
for just as waters rise above our ankles
so shall we in the end
sleep through the screams and sinking
promise you'll close your eyes
dream to meet your end
and meet again in Nod
a land unsinkable
can't guard you from the pain
but the cold will numb it anyway
don't fear the shallows
swallow this lie just one more night
a story to sedate you
six feet under
below the cruelest sky
and fathoms beneath the minds
that brought us out here to die
we can taste the salty sea now
we can feel the warmth it's fading
blue faces and blue lips and blue sea
no one wake the children
sinking with their bedside grave
sinking in these sheets
with angels singing them to sleep
so cold
who will wade in depths so strange
and grieve this loss of old
