Graham Nash
Words and Music by Graham Nash and Shane Fontayne from Graham Nash’s 2016 album "This Path Tonight." [Intro] Csus4 Csus4 [Verse 1] Am C Csus4 Through the cracks in the city C Csus4 I can see the sad traces C Csus4 Of yesterday’s empires With tomorrow’s bad dreams C Csus4 They’ll come back to haunt us C Csus4 Like the gaze in a mirror C Csus4 Am Reflecting mistakes that we took to extremes Oh [Chorus] The cracks in the city Will trap us and trip us Making us fall to the ground that we love And through the cracks in the city I can hear voices calling Taking us all from below to above To above [Verse 2] Am C Csus4 So I will follow this path C Csus4 That my life lays before me C Csus4 That yesterday’s hero Never dared to dream C Csus4 About the stories and tales C Csus4 All the long hidden memories C Csus4 That sound like the echoes Of a tale told between Oh [Chorus] Between the cracks in the city That will trap us and trip us Making us fall to the ground that we love And through the cracks in the city I can hear voices calling Taking us all from below to above To above [Interlude] [Verse 3] The search for oblivion Starts out in the daylight Listening to people Csus4 C Am All trying to be first C Csus4 But dreaming in darkness C Csus4 Will offer no solace C Csus4 When all the king’s horses Are dying of thirst Oh Oh [Chorus] The cracks in the city That will trap us and trip us Making us fall to the ground that we love And through the cracks in the city I can hear voices calling Taking us all from below to above F Esus E To above [Outro] Esus
