verse 1
Am D
And being outside your wisdom
G Em
And stretching the truth
Am D
I was the oil and lavender
G Em
But never for you
Am D
You had to toil and sit in
G Em
The sun browned your skin
Am D
It burned all the alabaster
G Em
Till the ask choked the wind
Chorus 1
Am D
They say it's the longest light
G Em
To ever have shown
Am D
They say it's the longest lie
G Em
And that nobody knows
Am D
They say it's the longest lie
G Em
And I still taste the smoke
verse 2
Am D
Now only ungrateful remember (?)
G Em
To sleep in the stone
Am D
With all of your grace and thunder
G Em
The roll and the boom
Am D
I was the cloak and dagger
G Em
That snuck into you
Am D
And we have but one (left? /life?) finger
G Em
That's pointing at us
Chorus 2
Am D
And that would be the longest night
G Em
That chilled ___ to bone
Am D
That would be the longest night
G Em
To sleep here alone
Am D
That would be the longest night
G G/F# Em
I think you'd be warmer closer to me
