Sleeping at Last – Sorrow (Guitar)

   Am         G
It feels like falling.

C  F          C
It feels like rain.

     Am  C      G
Like losing my balance

Em Dm       Am
Ag—ain and again.

    F       Am  G
It once was so easy;

        C           F
Breathe in, breathe out.

           Am      C    G
But at the foot of this mountain,

C F        C
I only see clouds.

  Am          G
I feel out of focus,

C       F        C
Or at least indisposed

           Am        C  G
As this strange weather pattern

 Em Dm          Am
Inside me takes hold.

        F       Am  G
Each brave step forward,

          C           F
I take three steps behind.

      A     C  G
It's mind over matter –

    C  F    C
Matter over mind.

Dm C Am G
Slowly,

Am    G  C  F
then all at once.

   Dm C  Am   G
A single loose thread

Am     G         C   F
And it all comes undone.

Am              G
Where there is light,

C F         C
A shadow appears.

      Am      C  G
The cause and effect

Em   Dm         Am
When life interferes.

      F       Am  G
The same rule applies

    C           F
To goodness and grief;

    Am      C    G
For in our great sorrow

   C     F        C
We learn what joy means.

Dm
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.

G
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.

Am                              G
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.

F
But I will learn to fight, I will

Dm                                 G
'Til this pendulum finds equilibrium.

Dm C Am G
Slowly,

Am   G   C  F
then all at once.

    Dm   Am       G
The dark clouds depart,

        Am  G  C  F
And the damage is done.

Dm Am          G
So pardon the dust

           Am  G   C   F
While this all settles in.

       Dm C Am   G
With a broo-oken heart,

        Am  C    F
Transformation begins.
