On The Avalon Stairs

D  C#m7 Bm7 A
Ooh,    Ooh

   C#m7 F#m
So mystifying
                      B7
when you're back from wandering
            D         A
and finding once again
                    C#m7        F#m
that you're hanging on for dear life
           B7                   D     A D
the family tendency of bruising easily

            F#m        D
We all make vows to ourselves
                  A         E            D
not to keep these things so close to our chests
                    F#m        B7
But it's so hard to promise ourselves
              A  E   D
that we won't lie to ourselves
              A  E   D
that we won't lie to ourselves

C#m7 Bm7 D   A
          Ooh

               C#m7             F#m
Today a little further from the shore
          B7                     D        A
And maybe tomorrow into the volcano you go
             C#m7             F#m
It's hard to say, but all you know
                   B7
Is that you got no kids to take
           D          A
Your ashes to the lake

          D            F#m        D
There are all kinds of stories we tell
       A    E  D
Starry-eyed in stereo
             F#m           B7
And the only thing that we miss
          A    E          D
Is remembering what to forget
       A    E          D
Remembering what to forget

B7 D B7

       D        F#m        D
And we all make vows to ourselves
                  A         E            D
not to keep these things so close to our chests
                    F#m        B7
But it's so hard to promise ourselves
              A  E   D
that we won't lie to ourselves
              A  E   D
that we won't lie to ourselves

                  A  E   D         A D
Oh, that we won't lie to ourselves,
A  D        A D6
to ourselves
