Verse 1
=======
Well I [G]guess that I'd die with my friends [/Gb]at [/E]my [D]side
[C]Puzzled young [G]faces just slipped [/Gb]a -[/E]way [D]slowly
I [C]thought of the [G]times I was [C]drunk on the [G]railway
[/Gb]La - [Em]mented the time I was [A7]smashed in the [D]square
Verse 2
=======
So [G]around I did [/Gb]wander for to [G]find [/Gb]my [/E]way [D]home
On [C]feet made of [G]nothing it's har-[/Gb]der [/E]to [D]roam
I [C]trooped up the [G]coastline
A [C]walk on the [G]moor
Saw [Em]no big wide river
No [A7]glorious faraway [D]shore
Refrain 1
=========
And [G]every [/Gb]now and a-[G]gain[/A] [/B]
I [C]go into [G]town just to see [/Gb]my [/E]old [D]friends
It's [C]such an odd [G]feeling
Their [C]eyes burn like [G]embers
Their [C]minds are these [G]forests
Where [C]thoughts fall as [G]timber
Be-[Em]fore I'm dragged a-[A7]way
[C]Every [D]now and a-[G]gain
Inst

[G] [/Gb] [G] [/Gb] [/E] [D]
[C] [G] [/Gb] [/E] [D] [G]
Verse 3
=======
Now [G]I have no [/Gb]form I could [G]climb [/Gb]in [/E]her [D]spine
Her [C]blood is like [G]wine to a ghost [/Gb]drunk [/E]on [D]sadness
And [C]time moves on [G]slowly
In [C]time I'll for-[G]give her
Be-[Em]cause when she holds hands with him
[A7]I know she's thinking of [D]me
Refrain 2
=========
And [G]every [/Gb]now and a-[G]gain[/A] [/B]
I [C]like to i-[G]magine and I [/Gb]like [/E]to pre-[D]tend
It's a [C]glorious [G]feeling [C]I'll be re-[G]membered
For [C]all my good [G]deeds these [C]eighteen De-[G]cembers
Be-[Em]fore I'm dragged a-[A7]way
[C]Every [D]now and a-[G]gain
Change
======
Out-[C]side of the [B]book there is [Em]no resurrection
The [Am]valley be-[D]low threatens [G]me with a home
[C]Heaven a-[B]bove has no [Em]map or direction
When-[C]ever you [G]can cast a [C]glance
To the [G]shadows for [D]me
Refrain 3 | end
===============
Yes [G]I'll [/Gb]try without [G]end[/A] [/B]
To [C]seek others [G]like me whom I [/Gb]might [/E]be -[D]friend
It [C]drives like a [G]madness there's [C]no way to [G]reach them
You [C]catch just a [G]glimpse
But you [C]never can [G]touch them
Be-[Em]fore you?re dragged a-[A7]way
[C]Every [D]now
[C]Every [D]now
[C]Every [D]now and a-[G]gain
