Chords

[Verse]
     C                                F
And I've been getting urges late at night

     C                                     F
To walk and walk for days and throughout lights

         C                                   F
Through people's houses, picking food from plates

          C                                  F
Through people's gardens, picking locks on gates
[Chorus]
   F         Am         G                F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I

   F             Am                G                   F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry

   F         Am                  G                Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind

       C                               F                  C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
[Verse]
C                                     F
And I've been leaving gifts out in the woods

    C                                   F
That someone might stumble upon and wonder at their origins

     C                                     F
I've been feeling like a fox with sad old eyes

   C                                 F
The skulkers all moved on to leave the dark and empty den behind
[Chorus]
   F         Am         G                F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I

   F             Am                G                   F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry

   F         Am                  G                Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind

       C                               F                  C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
[Pre-Chorus]
          Am                        G                           C
I'll anull these little walls of attrition and these invocations

               Am                G
That's seen me holding my camera out at arms length

C                                Dm
To self-document these new locations

                  F
When I should be leaning against you

Am                           G
Deciding on things to get done

                   F
And you should be leaning on fountains

      Am                        G                      Dm        F
And filling my space up and breathing the air from my lungs

C      F
Na na na na
[Outro]
   F         Am         G                F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I

   F             Am                G                   F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry

   F         Am         G                F
And we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I

   F             Am                G                   F
Our beams will burn the clouds to beacons in the sky

   F         Am                  G                Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind

Dm
The wind...

       C                               F                  C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
