Capo 1st fret


[Verse 1]
D               C              Em            G
Light ended the night, but the song remained
                        D                      C               Em        G
And I was hiding by the stair, half here, half there, past the lashing rain
                           D                   Em   F#m     G
And as the sky would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind
      A           G                        D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D
As we stood congregated at the firing line


[Verse 2]
D               C              Em            G
Night ended the fight, but the song remained
                       D                    C           Em      G
And so I headed to the wall, turned tail to call to the new domain
                      D                   Em             F#m   G
As if in the sight of sea, you're suddenly  free but it's   all the same
        A     G         D           G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
A         G          D          G           D   Em F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea-ea-ea--eaves?
D           Em   F#m  G
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh, ooh, ooh


[Refrain 1]
      F         Em
Was I too slow?
        F          Em
Did you change overnight?
       G
Second son, on the other line


[Verse 3]
D                C         Em       G
Now, back in our town as a castaway
                    D                   C            Em           G
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line, on the third of May
                D               Em      F#m         G
As if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away
        A     G         D           G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
A         G          D          G           D   Em F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea-ea-ea--eaves?
D           Em   F#m  G
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh, ooh, ooh


[Refrain 2]
            F         Em
Was I goin' too slow?
      F          Em
Did I change overnight?
       G                        Dm
Second son, for the second time


[Bridge]
Dm
Can I be light and free?
     Em                                 F
If I lead you through the fury will you call to me?
       Em               F                 Dm
And is all that I might owe you carved on ivory?
             C           F          Em  Dm
But all will fade, all I say, all I needed
                  C               F         Em   Dm
As a flash in the eye, I wouldn't deny, all receded


Dm
Life unfolds in pools of gold
     Em                               F
I am only owed this shape if I make a line to hold
      Em                F                  Dm
To be held within one's self is deathlike, oh I know
             C                F         Em   Dm
But all will be, for mine and me, as we make it
                    C                    F               Em   Dm
And the size of the fray, can't take it away, they won't make it


[Outro]
Emaj7
I was a fool
G#                      F#
Crime after crime to confess to
      E
But I hold the fleet angel
Fm
   She'll bless you
    D#maj7       Fm
Hold ---- fast to  the wing
    D#maj7       Fm
Hold ---- fast to  the wing
