 F#m|------5---------||------2---2-----||--2-----------2-||4---4---4---4---||----------------||----------------|


F#m                     C#mTomorrow you’ll see it through

A                         Bm             Bm7The clouded out disguises put you in the room

E                          DAnd though I wandered out alone

A           E              F#m     AA thousand lights abounded on our home


D                     AAnd I remember every sound it made

E                                 F#m     AThe clouded out disguises and the grave

D                         ASo yeah I know I’m still afraid

E                               F#m     A    DOf letting go of choices I have made


EAll Delighted people raise their hands


F#m                    C#mAnd I took you by the sleeve

A                       Bm               DNo other reason than to be your leading man

F#m                     C#m   CmAnd you woke up with a fright

A                          Bm                  DOur lives depended on the visions through the night

F#m                                 C#m             CmOh we had always, Oh we had always wanted to before

A                           Bm               F#The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor


EAll Delighted people raise their hands


F#m                        C#m   CmStill the force of nature spurns

A                            Bm            F#Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement


EAll Delighted people raise their hands


D                      AAnd I’m not easily confused

E                                    F#m    AThe trouble with the storm inside us brews

D                      ABut I have so much to give

E                               F#m   AIn spite of all the terror and abuse
