Eternity (UK 2, NZ 5, 2025)     (video)

Em G

1. Hear the clock ticking on the wall.

Am Em

losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry.

G

Every drop is a waterfall,

Am

every breath is a break in the riptide.

C Bm - D

Oh, how long has it been ? I don't know.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Em G C

But it feels like an eternity since I had you here with me,

Em G C

since I had to learn to be someone you don't know.

Em G C

To be with you in paradise, what I wouldn't sacrifice !

Em G C

Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go ?

Em - G - C Em - G - C

As I walk this world alo……….ne, as I walk this world alo….…..ne.

Em G

2. Another glimpse of what could've been,

Am

another dream, another way that it never was,

Em G Am

Falling back in the wilderness (ooh-ooh),

waking up, rubbing salt in the cut.

C - Bm - D

Oh, how long has it been ? I don't know.

+ CHORUS

C D

+ It's an endless night, it's a starless sky,

Em

it's a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home).

C D Em D

It's a long goodbye on the other side of the only life I know.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Em G C

But it feels like an eternity since I had you here with me,

Em G C

since I had to learn to be someone you don't know.

Em G C

To be with you in paradise, what I wouldn't sacrifice !

Em G C

Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go ?

Em - G - C Em - G - C

As I walk this world alo……….ne, as I walk this world alo….…..ne.
