INTRO:
G C G
D Am C
VERSE:
G
now we can say
C G
that nothings lost
D
and only change
Am D
brings round the prophecy
G
well now it’s melting
C G
the solid frost
D Am
was once a veil on greener landscapes
C
we would see
BRIDGE:
D C
beneath my surface
G
the waters heating
D Am
the steam comes up and out the tears
C
you see me shine
G C G
for every strange and bitter moment
D C G
there was never a better time
VERSE: (same)
for every pleasure
exacts its pain
how you hurt me
how you were good to me
beneath my window
a mournful train
that makes me smile
at my bad poetry
BRIDGE:(same)
but beneath my surface
a song is rising
and it may be simple
well it hides its true intent
we may be looking for our deliverence
but it has already been sent
MIDDLE:
C
it’s in the nightfall
G
when the light falls
F#
and what you’ve seen
C
isn’t there anymore
C
it’s in our blind trust
G
love will find us
Asus C D
just like it has before
[instrumental]
VERSE: (same)
they’re sending soldiers
to distant places
x’s and o’s
on someones drawing board
like green and plastic
but with human faces
and they want to tell you
it’s a merciful sword
BRIDGE:(same)
but with all the blood
newly dried in the desert
can we not fertilize the land with something else
there is no nation
by god exempted
lay down your weapons
and love your neighbor as yourself
MIDDLE: (same)
it’s in the nightfall
when the light falls
and what you’ve seen
isn’t there anymore
it’s through our blind trust
love will find us
just like it has before
