[Intro] B A#m G# F#m D#m B A#m G# F#m D#m Em [Verse 1]
Em
  I didn't think that this could be

Em
  All that unto death do we

         Em
'Til you managed the lock and magicked the key

        Em
After a night of hard drinking and ecstasy
[Pre-Chorus]
     F                          Am
It's softer than words that are spoken

F                         Em
Blackened on paper that's shredded and torn

   F                        Am
Or carved into stones lying shattered and broken

Bm7b5                E7
  Branches beckoned along the wrong path

Bm7b5                   E+
  Winding up in the past
[Chorus]
Em
  And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us

Em
  This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us

     F                          Am
It's softer than words that are spoken

   F                      Em
Or painted as slogans and flung to the lions

F                       Am
Written on slips as the punters wait smoking

Bm7b5                  E7
  A leap of faith, the odds sky-high

     Bm7b5                        E+
Said goodbye to your place or mine
[Bridge]
Fm                   Cm            Dbmaj7       Cm
  Don't like to make promises that I can't keep

Fm                   Cm                Dbmaj7   Cm
  Don't want to hurt this old heart or wreck my sleep

                  Fm
Thinking how will we part?

     Cm                  Dbmaj7              Cm
Will I hold your hand or you be left holding mine?

             B               A#m G# D#m
Between this breath and then

                        B    A#m G# D#m
There's this airlock of time

              F#m    B
This airlock of time
[Chorus]
Em
  And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us

Em
  This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us

     F                          Am
It's softer than words that are spoken

       F                           Em
In the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned

  F                            Am
Engraved on gold rings or some other love token

   Bm7b5              E7       Bm7b5                   E+
No walls, no bells to sanctify this dark and velvet night
[Outro] Em Em F Am F Em F Am Bm7b5 E7 Bm7b5 E+
