G

So you want us to believe in me

Am7

Dsus4

Though I wake up every night, oh

G

C

And I've been dreaming of a second rush

Am

Dsus4

While the first one leaves your eye

Bm7

C

What if you'd never been through life's young

G

C

Sorrow wailing alone

Am

Dsus4

What if you'd never seen through that

C

D

G

To the fields of her home All these rumors of a flaming town Not by parents ever stayed Just a part of what we do out here Subtle early vicious late What if you'd never been through fights of Sorrow wailing alone What if you'd never seen through that To the fields of her home |

Em

G

When all falling down

G

C

Am

Just a travelling need of a wave

Em

G

And the burn of salt in the cuts

C

Am

Come around, heal again I was always racing on that crossing street Where you'd land on quite heels, Oh oh Will there ever be a same time to Let them know how walking feels What if we'd never see through crimes of Tomorrows wailing alone What if we'd never see through that To the fields of our home All we believe in these frozen grounds Suddenly hunger disappears Will we fall as we run with our closen eyes Is this a lifetime or some years?

And so I'd stumble in the light

The night was always there to end all repetition

D

A

Insane? I bother with the blinds

D

E

Carry on and love will be here

Bm

E

I met this girl from my old town, but sadly she could see

A

D

I'm still a bunch of memories and shit that I believe

Bm

E

And suddenly the rain's the only part you feel

A

D

E

E7

And there's the darkness of the dream, oh Lord

E

D

A

D

E

E7

And there's the darkness of the dream, oh Lord But she was something of a flame Just telling me too quiet, excuses and the visions Just let yourself out of your sight Careless and some love will be here And now you sleep and get some rest from all the songs you make They're all a bunch of mirrors, and fuck it, I'm afraid And suddenly the rain's the only part you feel And there's the darkness of the dream, oh Lord And there's the darkness of the dream, oh Lord

Bm

E

She said, I ain't got no time for no broken believers

A

D

And lie like the foolish one

Bm

E

It's taking hours and days and I just want to hold you

A

D

And end of a wait begun

Bm

E

I said I think of hours in everyone... The letting go is here and now The beauty is in your arms, no mind is out to wander Just let yourself out of your sight Careless and some love will be there And now there's this dancer in the dream, just rowing in the night And I can't believe how pretty and I can't believe the signs And suddenly the rain's the only part you feel And there's the darkness of the dream, oh Lord And there's the darkness of the dream, oh Lord

F#m

Bm

E

A fear of heart and all of its turnings

A

D

And it's never letting go

F#m

Bm

E

I'm sure I'll sleep when all this goes under

A

D

But now, will I sleep alone?

E

It only starts with a river

A

But I know it's only waiting for the golden ground |

It's wide and awake, but I'm showing up late

On the way there was something that told me to stay

A

Bm

E

I feed on the sunlight but sunlight just drives me away

A

D

In the loving game the summer is deep and the memories still

Bm

The garden is full and I'm way over hills

I see there's a line that I'm walking and I'm just the same

Sweet old man, it is time

G

Disappear, but still there is laughter I'm in the shadows being you Graying hair, random blues Guess there'll always be someone after

Am

Guess we're always in beginnings of our wildness to return

We rise into it and we feel a little lighter

Am

Guess we're always in the question of the things we never learn

Some said the night is here so sleep But if they knew the way How a weather builds in the silence It's where you try it's gonna land It's where you land it will try Guess it all looks just like we're dancing Guess we're only in beginnings of our silence to return I rise above it and I feel a little lighter Guess we're always in destruction of the little things we'd learnt But we're only gone, like singers are Till springtime let them out If they should let them out |

And in the morning we'll row out and see what's down there, oh We cannot empty out this lake before I die We let them back when it just felt like we were stealing, oh But we're only gone, like singers are Till springtime let them out If they shall let them out |

I'm going to miss you now, alright Guess I walk it somehow Travel on to feel what is out there It's on the borders you will think Just of all these goodbyes And the memories of being looked after Guess we're always in beginnings of our wildness to return We rise into it and we feel a little lighter Guess we're always in the faces of the things we never learn But we're only gone, like singers are Till springtime let them out If they shall let them out

But I walk along and meet up a tree line, 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 And to stop believing in the returning, I went on So vaguely I still hear the bands but not what's going on I guess they're raging at the beach for some light 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

All I said was there were mountains in my way

To be high in trees when they walk, just forth and back and out And the vessel's gone and I will stay to figure this one out I bet they're raging in the seas for some light And like all birds they're given all this time And now I hold on fall is greeting me to stay And we slow dance in the kitchen and I dream the days away, oh And just like Lucinda's you are right on time There are louder cities somewhere But I don't think I'll be back where ringing stays In a place like this I should never feel afraid |

x2

In this sunlight I just can't believe your face We're some laundry line believers, we're just kids in many ways, oh And you smell like smoke and honey in my arms I'm somewhere in some falling And I'm learning of your language for to say In times like these I should never grow away |

Suddenly the wide awake and to get right in Figure that the fear to try was the traveling Deep into the Rockies then did the future sound? Timothy, we're waking up to a healing mind Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh It only takes a gravel road in Missouri light Rolling to the way back when simple was alright But mother, I can break the bank with the pedal down Timothy, we're waking up to a healing mind Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh

You and I, we belong on these wild and wonderful trails You're just a singer wanting silence, I just have illegal thoughts I will kill you if I take you but now this is not enough Oh there will be a moment when I ask you to believe in love And I could probably be patient but we just don't have A hell a lot of time it's getting light and I just want you in the night Oh, we will all be caught and they won't let me hang around with you Then so suddenly we are gone Looking out for some wave You and I, we belong on these wild and wonderful trails

We let it out to let it ride And we are winners going out there as we're stealing dreamy thoughts They will heal you when you find them and it's never just enough Then we get all nervous, baby, I don't have a plan, do you?
