D                          E/D
Tonight your love is over
                 G            C
Tomorrow it will all be put away
         D                  E/D
Like the clouded ruins of a god
                G                   A    A7
A pharoah put aside against a rainy day
         D
And your silent eyes are crying
       E/D                     A    A7   A13   A7
That tomorrow is to be so very soon
           D                        F
The silver coins in your pocket are sighing
    G   A7      D
For envy of the moon


D                              E/D
Tonight the high times finish
                   G                   C
Tomorrow sends you both back to square one
       D                        E/D
Like a burning moth you kind of wish
                       G                  A    A7
You could have settled down into a longer run
         D
And your silent eyes are crying
         E/D                        A    A7   A13   A7
That the daytime has already half begun
             D                     F
The stars outshone in the east are dying
   G   A7       D
Of envy for the sun


| G / / / | C / / / | D / / / | E/D / / / | A / A7 / | A13 / A7 / |


D                          E/D
Tonight your love is over
                 G             C
Tomorrow it will all be as you were
       D                     E/D
Like a captain broken in the field
                  G                    A      A7
Ce n'est pas magnifique, mais c'est la guerre
         D
And your silent eyes are crying
       E/D                     A     A7   A13   A7
That tomorrow is to be so very soon
           D                        F
The silver coins in your pocket are sighing
    G   A7      D
For envy of the moon
                                    F
The silver coins in your pocket are sighing
    G   A7      D
For envy of the moon
