Rose Betts - 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.
