The Tallest Man On Earth – Bright Lanterns (Guitar)

                        C                             Am
Well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after,

                 F                       G
and memories of gold on the run, flying around,

                    C                       Am
was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty,

                  F                           G
a vision of a mountain you say, so where did it go?

       G7          Am              F             G
It was light and i held it like a child to be saved

       G7                   Am              F
from the fires and from the falling down satellites

           G
but still wondering

   C               F               C       Am
"Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain

Em                      Am                F               G
though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine,

            C              F                C          Am
and fallen kids all rising men among their logs, but leavers,

Em       Am               F                     G
suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles,

G                                     C
it's only what these kids will haul around."

                        C                             Am
Well there's a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers,

                  F                                  G
and medicine for balancing things, like seeing your ghosts,

                     C                          Am
So thank god we're bright, said the lanterns brother,

                      F                              G
cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see

G7                Am               F               G
It was day and I stood there once again climbing quick

G7                      Am                  F               G
when I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering

C                 F                  C        Am
"Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger

Em              Am             F                  G
though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights,

            C                  F                 C          Am
I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages,

Em        Am                F                G
always believing there's a canyon for every blind,

G                                     C
it's only what these kids will haul around."
