As recorded by Mumford & Sons (2026 release) [Intro] G Cadd9 D [Verse 1]
       G
On the dark side of the earth

          Cadd9
Where the creatures are out

      D
I'm a man on the moon

   G
Midnight round my neck

    Cadd9
And sunrise on my breath

        D
I still wait for you
[Pre-Chorus]
         G                Cadd9           D
Will you lay down all the things you've done?

                     G
Don't turn your face around

        Cadd9  D
You can come undone
[Chorus]
      G
Well, hey

        Cadd9                      D
Did you call, did you fall, do you need someone?

D
Do you need someone?

    G
And hey

     Cadd9                             D
I'm a mess myself, but I think I could be someone

D
If you need someone

       Am
I was alone, it was fine

          G
I could deny all I like

             D
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright

     G
But, hey

       Cadd9                       D
Did you call, did you fall, do you need someone?

D
I could be someone

       G  Cadd9 D
For you
[Verse 2]
            G
Now there's gold in your eyes

        Cadd9
In this rosy-fingered light

       D
Like a man on the moon

       G
Out of sight, out of mind

      Cadd9
Never raise the alarm

          D
Yeah, I'm just like you
[Pre-Chorus]
        G                Cadd9           D
Can you lay down all the things you've done?

                     G
Don't turn your face around

        Cadd9   D
You can come undone
[Chorus]
    G
And hey

        Cadd9                      D
Did you call, did you fall, do you need someone?

D
Do you need someone?

    G
And hey

      Cadd9                            D
I'm a mess myself, but I think I could be someone

D
If you need someone

       Am
I was alone, it was fine

          G
I could deny all I like

             D
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright

     G
But, hey

         Cadd9                       D
When you call, when you fall, do you need someone?

D
I could be someone

D
For you
[Interlude] Am G Em D Am G D [Bridge]
Am      G
 Tell a lie

      Em
See a light

       D
Burn a bridge

           Am
It'll be alright

             G              D
Things don't have to fall apart
[Out-Chorus]
    G
And hey
