             Am                              Fmaj7/A
Last night I dreamed of icy cliffs, standing on the precipice

  C                                       Em
I leaned to see just where the edge would take me

              Am                              Fmaj7/A
The wind came up, I closed my eyes, I heard a shout and to my surprise

  C                                      Em
a hand reached out and pulled me back to safety.
[Chorus 1]
         F**            G**        Em**            Am**
What's a hand, what's a dream? Who can say what it means?

          Fmaj7                        C
When everything that you know can disappear.

           F**               G**          Esus4*  E*  Am**
Don't look back, the spirits cry, just be glad to be alive.

     Fmaj7                        C
Everything that you love is right here,

     Fmaj7
everything that you love.
[Interlude] | Am | Fmaj7/A | C | Em | [Verse 2]
           Am                            Fmaj7/A
Life feels smaller than this stone, worn smooth inside my palm,

  C                              Em
I keep it like a charm inside my pocket.

       Am                             Fmaj7/A
I keep thinking I'll flame out, leave no one with a doubt,

     C                          Em
that I was meant to fire like a rocket.
[Chorus 2]
         F**            G**        Em**            Am**
What's a stone, what's a flame, there's always someone else to blame,

          Fmaj7                    C
when everything that you know disappears?

           F**              G**          Esus4*  E*  Am**
Don't look back the spirits cry, just be glad to be alive,

     Fmaj7                        C
everything that you need is right here,

     Fmaj7                Am
everything that you need.
[Interlude] | F G | Em Am | F | C | | F G | Esus4 E Am | Am | | Fmaj7/A | C | Fmaj7/A | [Verse 3]
         Am                         Fmaj7/A
When I'm left here on the shore the ancient basalt moor

C                                   Em
  will beckon me to sleep among its heather.

          Am                          Fmaj7/A
Who's not tempted to fold in, so that sleep may come again,

          C                           Em
where the fire and the ice hide their treasure.
[Outro] | F G | Em Am | F G | Em Am | | F G | Esus4 E Am | Fmaj7/A | C |
     Fmaj7               C
Everything that you love.

     Fmaj7               C
Everything that you need.
