Chords

[Intro] N.C. The sun is leaning on the darkness again And we sing
Em D         G
Oh, deliver me
[Verse 1]
G                C
 I saw images of God

                       Em
Reflected out upon the deep

               D
By prehistoric stars

                     G
Through millennia of grief

               C
Spiritless and haunted

                    Em
Like some excarnate beast

                         D
Still I feel the ancient lights of heaven

                 G
Pressing down on me
[Chorus]
                  C           Em
And the day changes at Midnight

                     D
But you don't know it

                      G
Until the morning light

               C             Em
And the footsteps of the midwife

                     D
Are already in motion
And in motion we sing
G              C
Whoah, deliver me

 Em         D      G
Oh, deliver me yeah

                           C
The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D        G
Oh, deliver me
[Verse 2]
G
 We traded souls

         C
On the shoals of Babylon

                 Em
When they bought yours down to the floor

            D
Man, I was sure that mine was gone

G
Everything inside me

        C
Wanted somewhere to belong

              Em
But something deep inside my body screamed

     D
That all of this was wrong
[Chorus]
G                   C          Em
  And the day changes at Midnight

                      D
Still you don't know it

                    G
Until the morning light

              C              Em
And the footsteps of the midwife

                     D
Are already in motion
And in motion we sing
G              C
Whoah, deliver me

 Em         D
Oh, deliver me

G              C
Whoah, deliver me

 Em         D
Oh, deliver me
[Bridge] (don't you know that)
G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

C
All my grieving, All my believing

Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

C
All my grieving, All my believing

Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

G                           C
 The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D        G
Oh, deliver me
[Verse 3]
G                         C
Every human creature is a galaxy of thought

          Em
You could spend your life on one

       D               G
And it wouldn't be for not

       G
Do you look at many people

        C
But you see so very few

         Em
From the disenchanted distance

          D
It's what desperate people do
Yeah but… [Bridge] (don't you know that)
G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

C
All my grieving, All my believing

Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
[Chorus]
G               C             Em
 And the day changes at Midnight
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling) (All my grieving, All my believing ) (All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
                     D
Still you don't know it
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
                   G
For another six hours

              C               Em
And the footsteps of the midwife
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling) (All my grieving, All my believing ) (All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
                    D
Are already in motion
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling) And in motion we sing
G              C
Whoah, deliver me

 Em         D      G
Oh, deliver me, yeah

                           C
The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D        G
Oh, deliver me
