[Intro]
A7sus4
(it's played by a banjo-like instrument but that is the chord)[Verse 1]
A7sus4 Em7 Like carillon bells, the house of Augustus rings Cadd9 G A7sus4 With the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine, they took to it Em7 Like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie Cadd9 G And my god, it's getting hard to even hum a single thing
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G/B You were the song that I'd always sing Em G You were the light that the fire would bring Cmaj7 G/B But I can't shake this feeling that I was only Em G Pushing the spear into your side again
[Interlude]
A7sus4 Cadd9 x2
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
Cadd9 G/B You were the song that I'd always sing Em7 G You were the light that the fire would bring Cadd9 G/B But I can't shake this feeling that I was only Em7 Pushing the spear into your side again
