Chords

C G Am Em Bm Eb [Intro] C G Am Em G Em D [Verse 1]
C        G       Am     Em
Darkness settles on the ground

Em                       D
Leaves the day stumbling blind

C      Bm   Am          Em
Coming to a quiet close

G           D       Em
  And maybe just in time
[Chorus 1]
       C              Eb       Em
We've almost lost the heart to know

G               C       D
How to keep our best in mind

      C               Am       Em
We've almost lost the heart to know

G                 D       Em
  How to keep our best in mind
[Bridge] C D Em x3 C G D [Verse 2]
C        G         Am    Em
Time has turned an angry face

G             Em          D
Throws a dark eye back to sea

C             G        Am    Em
But what will pass for mercy now

G                 D         Em
We'll practice un-forgiving-ly
[Chorus 2]
C               Eb        Em
As if might and will make right

   G                C       D
Or either one could make us free

C      G        A         Em
As if might and will make right

G                   D       Em
Or either one could make us free
[Bridge] C D Em x3 C G D [Verse 3]
C      Bm        Am         Em
Lovers laugh and cross this way

  Em                   D
A-weavin' out into the street

     C      G     Em      Em
It seems we never were so young

G                 D        Em
  Or it was never quite so sweet
[Chorus 3]
        C               Eb     Em
But the world is always beauti-ful

G                 C    D
When it's seen in full retreat

    C        G    Am     Em
The worst of life looks beautiful

G                 D      Em
As it slips away in full retreat
[Bridge] C D Em x3 C G D [Verse 4]
     C        G          Am     Em
Well God only knows that we can do

   G                 Em         Bm
No more or less than he'll allow

     C        G          Am          Em
Well God only knows that we mean well

    G                             Em
God knows that we just don't know how
[Chorus 4]
      C              Eb        Em
But I try to be your light and love

G                            C D
Pray that it's enough for now

       C      Bm      Am        Em
Well I try to be your light and love

G                       D          Em
And I'll pray that it's enough for now
[Bridge] C D Em x3 C G D
