G C D Am Em [Intro] Begin by strumming just the top strings holding down the G chord [Then play] C D C D C G D
C                              
And so to be one to lie to the captain

D
Sure I'm coming back

C
But I walk along and meet up a tree line

D
Cover up at last

Am                        G              D
And they're raging at the beach for some light

             G           C              D
But like the birds I was given all this time

C                               
And to stop believing in the returning

D
I went on

C
So vaguely I still hear the bands but not

D
What's going on

Am                            G              D
I guess they're raging at the beach for some light

             G             C              D
But like the birds they're forgiven every time

Am                         D
But then I know that I'm a stranger in this land

      G                                C
And I wake you up by speaking what you cannot understand, no

Am                        D
All I said was there were mountains in my way

G                  
But they're slowly disappearing

      C                             Am  
And I balance when I feel you to my skin

D (let it ring out)                    C
In times like these even travelers can win
[Break] C D C D
C
To be high in trees when they walk

D
Just forth and back and out

C
And the vessel's gone and I will stay to

D
Figure this one out

Am                          G             D
I bet they're raging in the seas for some light

             G             C              D
And like all birds they're given all this time

Am                                       D
And now I hold on fall is greeting me to stay

       G                               C
And we slow dance in the kitchen and I dream the days away, oh

Am                                       D        
And just like Lucinda's you are right on time

          G
There are louder cities somewhere

       C                                     Am  
But I don't think I'll be back where ringing stays

D (let it ring)                          C
In a place like this I should never feel afraid
[Break] C D C D (single strums)
G   C    G
Get around

C       G        D
This is handsome life

G          C      G
I guess my rhythm grew

C          G      D
Through my darker time, oh

C                                   D
I was not the killer I was one just setting sail

C
With the fear of sideway winds just turning

D
Downward with the hail

  Am                    G              D
Oh, I was raging in the field for some light

             G           C                  D
But like the birds I was forgiven with this time
[Break] C D C D
Am                                         D
In this sunlight I just can't believe your face

           G
We're some laundry line believers

           C
We're just kids in many ways, oh

Am                                       D
And you smell like smoke and honey in my arms

    G                                 C                                Am
I'm somewhere in some falling and I'm learning of your language for to say

D (let it ring)                         C
In times like these I should never grow away
[Outro] C D C D G C end on D
