Bishops Avenue

Capo: 2nd fret G Bm C G Summer is sweet on Bishops Avenue. Bm C D7 The nightingale sings and all the roses bloom G Bm C D7 I can feel there’s a dream that we must wake from soon, G C D G But I’d rather stay a little longer here with you. C D7 G Oh, I’d rather stay a little longer here with you. G Bm C G Catch every raindrop like they’re falling stars, Bm C D7 And then when the pain stops, let me hold your heart. G Bm C D7 I may not understand it, though I’ve seen its scars, G C D G And I’d rather stay a little longer where we are. C D7 G Oh, I’d rather stay a little longer where we are. Em C And we’ll go on, we’ll go on G D Like before, but always distant, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll turn every time I feel the pull; Em C We’ll go on, we’ll go on, G D Like before, but only different, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll learn how to breathe when love is gone. G Bm C G Summer is short on Bishops Avenue. Bm C D7 The leaves start to fall, like sunlight shards through broken roofs. G Bm C D7 I can feel that the dream is dying just too soon, G C D G And I’d rather lie a little longer here with you. C D7 G Oh, I’d rather lie a little longer here with you. Em C And we’ll go on, we’ll go on G D Like before, but always distant, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll turn every time I feel the pull; Em C We’ll go on, we’ll go on, G D Like before, but only different, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll learn how to breathe when love is gone. C D Going in circles, looking for angels, but it’s too late, now. C D D7 Feeling so empty, nothing can cure me; Oh, I’m going down. C D Fire so frightening, looking for something to numb this pain. C D D7 Walking through crowds with the music so loud so I don’t feel anything. Em C And we’ll go on, we’ll go on G D Like before, but always distant, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll turn every time I feel the pull; Em C We’ll go on, we’ll go on G D Like before, but only different, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll learn how to breathe when love is gone. Em C We’ll go on, we’ll go on, G D Like before, but always distant, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll turn every time I feel the pull; Em C We’ll go on, we’ll go on G D Like before, but only different, Em C G D We’ll go on, and I’ll learn how to breathe when love is gone. G Bm C G Summer is sweet on Bishops Avenue. Bm C D7 The nightingale sings and all the roses bloom.
