[Verse 1]
D                  Cmaj7/E            C      G
Light ended the night, but the song remained

                        D                        Cmaj7/E         C        G
And I was hiding by the stair, half here, half there, past the lashing rain

                              D              Cmaj7/E  F#m     G
And as the sky would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind

      A            G                        D
As we stood, congregated, at the firing line
[Verse 2]
D               Cmaj7/E           C          G
Night ended the fight, but the song remained

                       D                    Cmaj7/E              G
And so I headed to the wall, turned tail to call to the new domain

                       D             Cmaj7/E                 F#m      G
As if in the sight of sea, you're suddenly   free but it's  all the same

        A     G         D           G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center

A          G          D          G           D Cmaj7/E F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
D Cmaj7/E F#m G [Refrain 1]
      F      
Was I too slow?

        Am        Em       
Did you change overnight?

       G
Second son, on the other line
[Verse 3]
D               Cmaj7/E        C      G
Now, back in our town as a castaway

                    D                    Cmaj7/E        C        G
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line, on the third of May

                D          Cmaj7/E       F#m        G
As if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away

        A      G         D                G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center

A         G          D          G            D Cmaj7/E F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
D Cmaj7/E F#m G [Refrain 2]
      F     
Was I too slow?

      Am      Em       
Did I change overnight?

       G                        Dm
Second son, for the second time
