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

A    Am               G
A secret out of the past

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

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

 A         Am             G
Dust my feathers with his ash

                A       Am             G
I can 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
There ain't no end to the sands

           G
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
It's got the maps or if it's lost
[Chorus]
        Am       C              G
We will try and know whatever We'll try

           A   Am           G
We will be gone but not forever

            Am      C              G
C'mon lets try and know whatever we'll 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
Mama here comes midnight

G              C
With the dead moon in its jaws

A        Am                G
Must be the big star about to fall

A        Am
Mama here comes midnight

G              C
With the dead moon in its jaws

A        Am                G
Must be the big star about to fall
[Outro]

The big star is falling

Through the static and distance
