The Lilac Time – And The Ship Sails On chords

[Verse]
 C             FOne from the heart could be
     C            FThe East Village eye should be
 C                            AmFluorescent lights above the kiss goodnight
      F               GAnd love will always stay
         CBeyond words
C                  F x2
 C                    FThe first breath of Spring must be
     C             FThe last days of school might be
     C                  AmThe first taste of forbidden fruits
        F                          GAnd dancing with a girl who can afford good suits
    C            FYour lips on my neck
   C                FSunbathing on the deck
   COf the love boat
   AmIn clover we float
   F                        GA happiness that makes you choke
    C               FBeyond words
C                   F
 GThe words of love and of disgust
     FAre lost in the wind like so much dust
     GThe talks break down

Two lovers kiss
     FWhat words in the world
                   C           FAre we gonna miss?

[Verse]
   C                FAnd the ship sails on
    C                   FAnd when our lives have gone
    C              AmWhat epitaph will mean a thing?
   F                                GWhat're you gonna say when the phone don't ring?
  C                   FWas your life quite good?
   C                            FAnd were your book shelves made out of wood?
   C                               AmTo hold the books they write when their heroes die
   F                       GAnd the loss they always find
         C              FBeyond words

   C                 FAnd the ship sails on...

(Beyond words...)

And the ship sails on...
