F#m                     C#m
Tomorrow you'll see it through

A                         Bm             Bm7
The clouded out disguises put you in the room

E                          D
And though I wandered out alone

A           E              F#m     A
A thousand lights abounded on our home

D                     A
And I remember every sound it made

E                                 F#m     A
The clouded out disguises and the grave

D                         A
So yeah I know I'm still afraid

E                               F#m     A    D
Of letting go of choices I have made

E
All Delighted people raise their hands

F#m                    C#m
And I took you by the sleeve

A                       Bm               D
No other reason than to be your leading man

F#m                     C#m   G#
And you woke up with a fright

A                          Bm                  D
Our lives depended on the visions through the night

F#m                                 C#m             G#
Oh we had always, Oh we had always wanted to before

A                           Bm               F#
The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor

E
All Delighted people raise their hands

F#m                        C#m   G#
Still the force of nature spurns

A                            Bm            F#
Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement

E
All Delighted people raise their hands

D                      A
And I'm not easily confused

E                                    F#m    A
The trouble with the storm inside us brews

D                      A
But I have so much to give

E                               F#m   A
In spite of all the terror and abuse
(Instrumental) D (horn notes: D D, A A, F# F#, rest rest) A (horn notes: E, D C#, B A, F# E) F# F#m (horn notes: fool around with F#, E, D) B (horn notes: fool around with F#, E, A)

D                         A
And the people bowed and prayed

Bm                           A
And what difference does it make

G                  D
It doesn't matter anyway

The world surrounds us with its hate

Hello darkness, my old friend

A                             Bm                  D
I've come to strangle you in spite of what you'd like

F#m                              C#m                         G#
And don't be rascal, don't be a laughing dog…in spite of odds

A                             Bm             F#
All I'm deciphering from the spirits in the light within

E
All delighted people raise their hands

F#m                          C#m   G#
In restless dreams I walked alone

A                          Bm           F#
The clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness

E
All delighted people raise their hands

D                         A
And the people bowed and prayed

C#m                   Bm
To the neon god they made

D                            A
And what difference does it make?

C#m                   Bm
I love you so much anyway

A                            G
And on your breast I gently laid

D                             Bm
Your arms surround me in the lake

All delighted people raise their hands

D                  A
I'm not easily confused
F# F#m B (high E string – slide to 7, 9 7 5 7) x4 I feel alive I feel it glowing in the room (Instrumental) F# C#m A B (on high E string fool around with 2456, 9 7 9 7…etc.)
F#             C#m                     A             B
All delighted people raise their hands….
(Repeat indefinitely. Sufjan kinda fades out but you can end on F#) note: add a second instrument for the layers (like the high E string melodies)
