AmCBbmCmAm

Am           C
Sleep as the goer

    Am                      C
the bridge that watches the light speed through

Bbm                 Cm
And cries while the spirit stumbles

Bbm      Cm       Am
and inside missile for the protection of you


        Am                 C
Maybe it's silent

    Am                  C     
the voice can't bear anymore strain

Bbm                Cm
but speaks without even knowing

    Bbm            Cm                        Am
and streams out of sight in the direction of truth

Part B (01:23 - 01:51):


Transition:

------------------|
------------------|
------------------|

Gm                 C                 Dm
There's no reason there's no secret to decode

Gm                   C                 Dm           G
if you can't save it, leave it dying on the road

Gm                C                Dm       C
wide open arms can feel so cold, so cold

Feel so cold


Part C (01:52 - 02:09):


EmGbDDbmBmE


Part D (02:10 - 04:44):


Transition - Play A major until the singing comes in.

A
Balance the books, the ledges, the loons

                             Gbm
the disappointed look on the faces

                   E
that squint at the moon

Dbm                       Bm
I've seen it with shadows enhanced

         Dbm                   Bm
and then vote to decide who'll advance


A
Silver jet plane, making a turn

                        Gbm                          E
exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn

Dbm                             Bm
it's not the life lesson I'd've guessed

Dbm                             Bm
if you're conscious you must be depressed

            A                   Dbm
or at least cynical


Em
But someone might still eat the steaks

Gb
even if they're tough


D
Spending the day

Dbm
chewing the fat

Bm                  E                        A
floating away isn't rough but it's not enough


A
Oh Marianne, pass me the joint


the sandpaper's tan

   Gbm                     E
go-getters are surfing the point

    Dbm                      Bm
and London's a cratch on the lens

     Dbm            Bm
it's over before it begins

A
Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders

                     Gbm                      E
the older I get, the more I suspect there's a trick

    Dbm                        Bm
but really there's no trick at all

     Dbm                 Bm
that doesn't result in a fall

     A                  Dbm
or a faltering


Em
But something might spit out the bait

Gb
even if it's real


D
Rolling away

Dbm
missing the spoke

Bm                         E                  A           Dbm
close to the ground like a wheel but it's not joke


D
Holding the line

Dbm
clutching the phone

Bm                E                   A
nobly wasting the night, but it isn't right

                  Gb
it's not right


D
Smelling for blood

Dbm
praying for rain

Bm                 E                   A
running away isn't rough, but it's not enough


Let the last A chord ring.


Part E (04:56 - 05:59):


Eb                      Gm                   Cm   FmCm
The low tide is telling me that it's over,

Bb                    Dm            Gm
to breathe in everything exposed

Eb                      Gm                   Cm   FmCm
and comes back to cover me with a breaker

Bb                    Dm            Gm
being here's always changing too

CmBbFEbDmG

Dm                Bdim.               Am               G   Em       A
The empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all

Dm                Bdim.            Am   GEmA
wide open arms can feel so cold

Dm            Bdim.             Am                G    Em     A
and you can sit beside me and tell me what it's worth

Dm                   Bdim.            Am  GEmA
but I hope I die before I get sold

Dm         Bdim.            Am GEmA
I hope I die before I get sold

Dm           Bdim.            AmGEmA
I'd rather die before I get sold


Part G (08:22 - 08:58):


   Dm           C             Bdim.
If you find the soul that you lost

Em                  Am
frozen in a starry void

Dm      C                   G
Take it within and hope the sight of blood

                  C
can will signs of life to return

Dm          C           Bdim.
Back to the way that it was

Em                     Am
long before it made a noise

Dm         C       G
To keep on quietly reminding you

             C
what's never created or destroyed



Part H (08:59 - 09:11):


F major x8 - C major x8 - F major x8



Part A (09:12 - 09:52):


Same as the first Part A, A minor and C major are played with the two top 
strings (B and high E) being open, but still strummed.


Am          C
Wake as the swell peaks

    Am                      C
the close-outs drowning the birds with roars

Bbm                         Cm
and howls scare the new unkindness

     Bbm              Cm             Am
that picks and laughs at the carrion scene


Am                 C
Forces you see breathe 

    Am             C
can always go into hiding

Bbm                      Cm
and wait 'til it passes over

   Bbm                   Cm
or stay far gone for all eternity


Let the final Cm chord ring.


Part I (09:55 - 12:10):

A major x8 - A flat minor x8

Repeat these two chords until the fade-out.
