Chords

As recorded by alt-J (From the 2022 Album THE DREAM) [Verse 1]
Am            C
More together than alone

       Am              C
From a hill, we saw it rain on the town over

Am            C
Torch to your chin lights your cheekbones

        Am              C
In that moment, I saw a likeness to our father
[Refrain]
   F               C       G
In American night, on that hill

       F
In the night
[Interlude] C F N.C. C Em D C Em D C Em D C Em D C Em D C Em D C Em D C Em D C [Verse 2]
Dm
Pulled back to the night before

         Am
When the TV lit our brilliant, smiling faces

Em              Dm              C
Torch hits your face before the fall

Em                  Dm             C
Panic in the eye is similar to breaking horses
[Interlude]
N.C.                        C
(An apparition lifts me up!)
[Verse 3]
   Em         D          C
An apparition lifts me up

         Em                   D                       C
From its shoulders, I sit and see your face above the tree line

Em                   D                       C
Your reassurances subtitled in American English

     Em         D             C
I am calm as we sail down the hillside
[Interlude] Am C Am C Am C Am C [Outro]
    F              C       G
In American night, on that hill

       F   C F
In the night
