Verse:

C
The voice that whispers in our head

Suggesting we just stay in bed
F
Does it seem sweeter-sounding lately
C
To you as well?
C
Mine sounds a bit like Nat King Cole
Scrambling for change
To pay the toll
F
This love has lasted longer than we
C
Did expect

Chorus:
Dm
We never would have guessed
F
We never could have guessed
G#maj C
Becoming somehow turns into become
G7
While the work that we must do is
G7
The work that we must do is
C
It's never done

C
May I audition for the part
Of sweeping up your dusty heart
F
Well I think I know its darkest corners
C
Fairly well

C
And may this melody play sweet
Upon those dark deserted streets
F
Where we forever wait
C
To meet our mother's heart

Dm
We never would have guessed
F
We never could have guessed
G#maj C
Becoming somehow turns into become
G7
While the work that we must do is
G7
The work that we must do is
C
It's never done

It's never done
No, it's never done
It's never done
No, it's never done
