Intro: G Em Am D7 


Em               
Well, the light was rust, 
         C                 Em 
and the cold was in our knees, 
        Em                     G 
and our breath poured out over golden fields 
        Em          
Though I could not know then, 
              C              Em 
we'd have but few times like these, 
             Em                G 
with all the good smoke in between 


Em Am D7 


Em 
Tucked the darkness in, 
            C                  Em 
dragged the harrow across the land, 
         Em 
found my fresh start, 
         G 
sowed my wildest dreams 
Em 
Though I could not know then, 
      C           Em 
I was well in the weeds, 
          Em                G 
a tangled mess, whatever could come next 


Em Am 

Am 
before the hours took over, 
            Em    G                       Am 
before the full weight was on our shoulders, 
            Em          Am 
before the twilight's cover, 
           Em   G                Am          
before I knew time was such a swindler 
D7 
Ohhh 

G 
Oh my dear friend, 
            C       G 
everything falls to death 
            Em 
We tuck the darkness in, 
             Am        D7 
we tuck the darkness in 
G 
Oh my dear friend, 
           C        G 
everything falls to death 
            Em       
We tuck the darkness in, 
            Am         D7 
we tuck the darkness in 


G Em Am D7 
G Em Am D7 


G 
Oh my dear friend, 
            C       G 
everything falls to death 
            Em 
We tuck the darkness in, 
             Am        D7 
we tuck the darkness in 
G 
Oh my dear friend, 
           C        G 
everything falls to death 
            Em       
We tuck the darkness in, 
            Am         D7 
we tuck the darkness in 

G
