Dido – Day Before We Went To War chords

[Intro]
Dm Dm Dm C  x2

[Verse 1]
         DmAll the pictures on the wall
     CThe sand lying on the floor
             DmThe bed upstairs, still unmade
     DmThe dust float in the light
     CThe people just left
      BmAll laughter and mess
    AmForgetting this and that
            Gm     F CAnd rushing back

[Verse 2]
     DmThe front door open
     Dm                         DmThe music still playing in one room
              DmDown the hall
      C                  DmAnd towels on the floor
               DmAnd then it's quiet
          DmJust the bees and birds
     CThe summer haze
        Bb             AmOf the trees, and the air
          Gm F          CFeeds it all, feeds it all

[Chorus]
            DmWe can all feel it
         C                 BbLike a light hand on your back
          AmWelcoming you
            DmWe can all feel it
         C                 BbLike a light hand on your back
          AmWelcoming you
    Gm     F       CThe day before we went to war
     CThe day before we went to war
C           DmWe can all feel it

[Verse 3]
         DmAll the parasols and kids at play
     CThe sea so still and calm
DmBlue as the cloudless sky
CJust the gentle hum
        DmOf the summer's goings on
DmBroken by the sudden rush
         DmOf two planes
        CFlying low and fast
         Bb             AmInto the sun, into the sun

[Chorus]
            DmWe can all feel it
         C                 BbLike a light hand on your back
          AmWelcoming you
            DmWe can all feel it
         C                 BbLike a light hand on your back
          AmWelcoming you
    Gm     F       CThe day before we went to war
     CThe day before we went to war
C           DmWe can all feel it

[Chorus]
            DmWe can all feel it
         C                 BbLike a light hand on your back
          AmWelcoming you
            DmWe can all feel it
         C                 BbLike a light hand on your back
          AmWelcoming you
    Gm     F       CThe day before we went to war
     CThe day before we went to war
