Fish – Vigil chords

[Verse]
DmListen to me, just hear me out, if I could have your attention
     Gm                 Bb                  C      DmJust quieten down for a voice in the crowd (in the crowd)
            DmI get so confused and I don't understand
                    DmI know you feel the same way you've always wanted to say
              GmBut you don't get the chance
       Bb                  C      DmJust a voice in the crowd (in the crowd)
                 BbI don't know the score anymore
         DmIt's not clear anymore
                        BbI can't tell right from wrong anymore
                  DmI just don't understand

[Verse]
      DmI was just sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for old
     DmLike changing channels on the tv, or the dirt we stand in to gold
           DmWhen I was young my father told me just bad guys die
       DmAt the time just a little white lie
       GmIt was one of the first but it hurt me the most
        BbAnd the truth stung like tears in my eyes
     Bb7/AbThat even the good guys must die
           GmThere's no reasoning no crimes and I never knew why
                           F#sus2Even now it still makes me cry

[Chorus]
F          C/F      Bb/F   C F           C/F             Bb/FIf there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
              C                           BbJust a little helping hand, just a little understanding
          Csus4 C        Csus4 C        Csus4 C         FJust some answers to the questions that surround me now
           C/F         Bb/F C F          C/F             Bb/FIf there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
              Bb                    CJust a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
          Csus4 C        Csus4 C            Csus4 CJust some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
         Bb    F/A  Gm            DmI keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
      Bb      F/A     Gm           DmWhere nothing here is ever what it seems
    Bb       F/A           Gm         DmYou stand so close but you never understand it
    Bb          C/Bb       Bb          C/Bb        DmFor all that we see is not all that it seems, am I blind?

[Verse]
        DmAnd you sit there and talk revolution
            DmBut can you tell me just who's in command?
         GmWhen you tell me the forces we're fighting
          BbThen I'll join you and gladly make plans
        DmBut for now only our t-shirts cry freedom
        DmAnd our voices are gagged by our greed
    GmOur minds are harnessed by knowledge
       BbBy the hill and the will to succeed
       Bb7/AbAnd if that's not what you believe
          GmWould you just let me know I'm not standing alone
                                 F#sus2That I'm not just a voice in the crowd

[Chorus]
F          C/F      Bb/F   C F           C/F             Bb/FIf there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
              C                           BbJust a little helping hand, just a little understanding
          Csus4 C        Csus4 C        Csus4 C         FJust some answers to the questions that surround me now

         Bb    F/A  Gm            DmI keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
      Bb      F/A     Gm           DmWhere nothing here is ever what it seems
       Bb       F/A         Gm               DmYou're reaching out, you're so close you can touch it
       Bb       C/Bb            Bb        C/BbBut it all disappears when it's always so near
        Bb          C/Bb         Bb           C/BbBut one day we will find that we stand in the light

[Chorus]
      C                Bb    F/A  Gm            DmUntil then I'll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Bb      F/A     Gm           DmNothing here is ever what it seems
    Bb        F/A      Gm            Dm               BbI'm scared to shout in case I draw attention from the powers
        C/Bb          Bb            C/BbThat preside over our minds and our lives
          Bb          C/Bb        Bb        C/Bb            DmWhen they find what I want is the deadliest weapon, that is truth

[Verse]
DmDay by day it's getting louder
    DmAnd day by day it's getting stronger
                 Bb                           Dm/ABut when I can't scream no more and I need reassurance,
                DdimI listen to the crowd

[Outro]
DdimAnd the boy stood and stared at the hill; and the hill - it stared back
