G       D/F#      C               D
Day was young, desire was stirred

G          D/F#     C      D
Summer was all  but gone

G         D/F#            C                D
Light was fading from the side of your face

G       D/F#       C
Sinking low in the corn
[Chorus 1]
G          Em
All that's constant and wise

        C 
I still see in your eyes

        G      G6       Bm
It was always this way from the start

      Em
Right here where I stand

       Bm
On the last of the land

    Am  Am7 C                   G
But you're still breaking the heart
[Link] G D C D G D C D [Verse 2]
G        D/F#              C                     D
Now all I have is rushing right through my hands

G       D/F#      C    D
Sailing over the seas

G         D/F#                 C           D
Down that tide where fresh and salt combine

G         D/F#         C
All victories are released
[Chorus 2]
G      Em
We who wrestle the years

      C
Have traded our fears

       G     G6           Bm
For a glimpse of ecstasy in the dark

        Em
Turning ice in the fire

       Bm
But still we're denied

    Am  Am7   C                  G
But you're still breaking the heart
[Link 2] G Em C G Em C [Bridge]
Em                            C                
The skies turned red without failure

                G                D/F#      Em
They held their promise and dread till the last

               Am              Em
You put all of my youth in my future

             G          D/F#    D  Dsus4  D
You put the future back into my past
[Verse 3]
G          D/F#        C                  D
So shine a light and shine it brightly now

G           D/F#          C       D
You know it all takes its course

G           D/F#      C                 D
And all the many ways I've tried so hard

G         D/F#         C
To reach this potent source
[Chorus 3]
G          Em
On the day behind time

       C
Across the divide

      G       G6         Bm
Along the cord came all light out of dark

      Em
Now I stand amazed

     Bm
In this beautiful pain

    Am  Am7  C                 G
But you're still breaking the heart
[Outro to fade]
G      Em           C      D
You're breaking the heart
