[Verse 1]
A              C           G
   The whole place is dark

A        C                         G
   Every light on this side of the town

A         C             G
   Suddenly it all went down

A             C               G
   Now we'll all be brothers of

A          C              G
   The fossil fire of the sun

A              C               G
   Now we will all be sisters of

A                C           G
   The fossil blood of the moon
[Verse 2]
A                         C     G
   Someone must have set 'em up

A                 C                        G
   Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock

A                   C                   G
   Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam

A                 C                   G
   Now they'll be working in the concrete

A          C               G
   In the sirens and the silences now

A             C             G
   All the great set up hearts

         A C           G
All at once start to beat

   A               C                 G G

[Verse 3]
A            C                             G
   After tonight if you don't want this to be

A     C                 G
   A secret out of the past

            A       C                G
I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it

A                  C             G
   I'll streak his blood across my beak

A         C                  G
   Dust my feathers with his ash

A           C                     G
   Feel his ghost breathing down my back
[Chorus]
       Am        C             G
I will try and know whatever I try

          A   Am           G
I will be gone but not forever

       Am C                    G
I will try and know whatever I try

        A    Am                G
I will be gone but not forever
[Verse 4]
A    Am                G
   Real truth about it is

A     Am              G
   No one gets it right

A    Am                G
   Real truth about it is

A         Am               G
   We're all supposed to try

A                  Am                   G
   There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross

A        Am                G
   The real truth about it is

           A    Am           G
My kind of life's no better off

                 A Am           G
If it's got the map or if it's lost
[Chorus]
        Am C                     G
We will try and know whatever we try

          A   Am           G
We will be gone but not forever

                Am      C              G
Come on, lets try and know whatever we try

           A  Am              G
We will be gone but not forever
[Verse 5]
A    Am                G
   Real truth about it is

A                  Am                  G
   There ain't no end to the desert I'll cross

A          Am                 G
   I've really known it all along

A               Am                G                 C
Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws

A               Am                G
   Must be the big star about to fall

A               Am                G                 C
Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws

A               Am                G
   Must be the big star about to fall
