Am A4(9) Am A4
When the darkness falls early,
Dm7 E7
And the light hits the ground
Am Dm7 E7
There's a moment to be captured
Am A4(9) Am A4
So I sit here with silence
Dm7 E7
In the makes of my eyes
Am
Talking to you, who left before
Dm7 D#º
I don't know why
E7
I don't know why
E7
These things, I cannot
Am Am7 G F E7 Am7 G F E7
Am7
It comes with the gig, I feel it dwelling
The friends, away, afraid of me
And I know I'm near,
But my pride is selling
Trading for hearts of humble peers
Trading for hearts of humble peers
Am
And she comes with the son,
Her light is shining, beaming with love
Flying to the ocean,
And I, I know the seagulls
When I see her flying
Reaching out to the bones
That are casually roasting
G
And my skin is burning
F
With the fire of the world
E7 Am
Sometimes my eyes are tricking me
G
But when the words of His song
F
Are singing through the birds
E
I can't help but die,
so He can take me higher
I can't help but die,
so He can take me higher
Am
And this dark small pain
Grows like cancer
Sometimes her eyes are speaking to me
But when the flesh is gone,
My soul is all I travel by,
And my guitar will vanish
like the earth and the sea
Yes, my guitar will vanish like the earth
