Chords

[Intro] F [Verse 1]
    G                C
I'm standing at the door

 G             C
Crying let me in

   G                                 C
I see her dancing there in all her wonder

 F             G          C      F
How her body moves with eternal youth

      Am7               C                 F
And her footsteps hammer on like rolling thunder
[Verse 2]
        G                     C
While I'm stuck here in the shadows

  G           C
Fueling the dream

     G                               C
Another face just flashing in the night

    F                   G
The smoke it folds around me

  C               F
Like unenchanted wings

    Am7               C                        F
As I listen to the nightbirds singing in their flight
[Chorus]
F G  C                F
Oh, close this great divide

 Am7       C         F
Between my heart and mind
[Verse 3]
        G                C
Once shе held me in my anguish

  G               C
Pulled mе from my pain

     G                           C
And sheltered me from life's mysteries

 F                    G
Somewhere beyond the darkness

C                F
Lies incredible light

  Am7                    C             F
At least that's what she once made me believe
[Verse 4]
      G               C
So go dive in empty spaces

      G                 C
Where magic weaves and spins

    G                                    C
Go find her there, it's where she set me free

      F                   G            C        F
Now I'm pulling chains from every corner of her memory

    Am7               C               F
Go find her there and bring her back to me
[Chorus]
F G C                  F
Oh, close this great divide

Am7        C         F
Between my heart and mind
[Bridge]
   F                Em      F
Just listen to the nightbirds

  F            Em       F
Listen to the nightbirds

 F            Em        F
Listen to the nightbirds

 F            Em       F
Listen to the nightbirds
[Outro]
         G                     C
Well, if I could turn my back now

     G                 C
And lay back down with you

     G                                 C
I'd pull you in and finally get some sleep

 F                G
Listening to the nightbirds

 C                F
Without wondering how

 Am7                   C         F
They hold her in their song so casually
