[Intro] D D D D D Em G D D Em G D [Verse 1]
  D      Em
Tell me, is everything unplanned?

  G                           D
It's all so unexpected that I just can't understand

  D                              Em
We run so hard and always end up in the same place

  G                                  D
Glad that went so smoothly, well that never is the case
[Chorus]
  G      D
One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright

  G                          D
We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night

  C
It's just the storm before the calm

  G                                  Asus4     D  D
Like the life held in your palm, it's clay one day
[Verse 2]
  D                 Em
And you stand there with ashes blowing past

  G                               D
Dipping into gilt-edged love that will be made at last

  D
And the gold you spend and the hastening end

  Em
That you throw into the sea

  G                        D
Coming back a hundredfold, there's no guarantee
[Chorus]
  G      D
One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright

  G                          D
We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night

  C
It's just the storm before the calm

  G                                  Asus4     D  D
Like the life held in your palm, it's clay one day
[Solo] D Em G D D Em G D [Chorus]
  G      D
One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright

  G                          D
We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night

  C
It's just the storm before the calm

  G                                  Asus4     D  D
Like the life held in your palm, it's clay one day
[Verse 3]
  D                            Em
We'll walk and be like giants, we'll all be honest men

  G                               D
I go back to my blindness so that I may see again

  D                           Em
A woman standing on a hill is gazing out to sea

  G                    D
Dreaming of a new age, waiting there for me
[Verse 4]
  D                                Em
I call her from a distance and she smiles into the sun

  G                                    D
And men and gods begin their dance for their time has begun

  D                      Em
And holy wars extended and battlefields of pain

  G                        D
Are washed away, forgotten in the perfect rain
[Verse 5]
  D                                  Em
Princes, kings and humble things are well-worn and content

  G                         D
Messengers come everywhere, envoys have been sent

  D                    Em
Na na na na, na-na na, a palm tree nodded at me last night

  G                        D
He said "Hey, you look so pale"
[Outro] D Em G D D Em G D
