Chords

[Intro] Gm [Verse]
Gm                                         F
Burning, the roads through my mind are on fire

         G              F     Gm
For the light you shed was blinding

Gm                                     F
A rabbit, caught in your glow, I am frozen

         G               F        Gm
In the yielding tar, sticky and golden
[Instrumental] Gm F C Gm [Chorus]
Gm               F           Gm
I foresee this ending in a shower of flame

     G          C    F    Gm
So drink your holy water soon

          G        Gm     F
And I'll wash my loving hands

     Gm
I'm through

    C  F         Gm
For I am of the sun

      C             Gm
And this night is getting on

         G           F         G
When the dawn breaks warm I'm gone
[Verse]
Gm                                         F
Standing, at the edge of your forest, I'm standing

  G              F     Gm
And the milky bed reminds me of the miles I have yet to tread

Gm                             F               Gm
And the heart-stained sheets I used to wrap around my waist

        G         C       F          Gm
Well I hope you find the peace you seek

  G         C       F          Gm
Wake me up in five, six weeks

    C           Gm
For we exist at night

    C           Gm
And a silent strip of light

 G           F         G
Unfurls against the mountain side
