One, two, three
[Verse 1]
F Am C G We move by night F Am C G Cover our tracks well and we pack light Dm Am C F Follow the shoreline 'til we've run clean out of land G Am C F Speak in gestures only we can understand
[Chorus]
Dm We've made mistakes F Am C D Everyone spots their own mess when the dawn breaks
[Verse 2]
F Am C G We get so exhausted F Am C G Lost kids, just wasted Dm Am C F Sleep in short shifts and then rise up to our feet G Am C F Life is short, and life is hard, and life is sweet
[Chorus]
Dm The treeline shakes F Am C D We roll hard along some long odds when the dawn breaks
[Bridge]
A D Dsus2 D (x2) See soft peaks off in the distance A E7 Those people in the mountains C D They will never know what hit them
[Verse 3]
F Am C G We shed dead weight F Am C G It gets pretty hard to concentrate Dm Am C F Practice our prayers until some small hope crystallizes G Am C F Follow the shoreline till some better hope arises
[Chorus]
Dm Behold, the beast awakes F Am C D Stand trapped in his great shadow when the dawn breaks
