Bb C
Days fog
Bb Dm C
Can’t see past the edge of what’s gone but I’m hoping I’ll try
Bb C
And the rain shines
Bb Dm C
And the showers and the fawns in the field arrange in my eyes
Dm
So why fight?
C
With nature’s call around
Dm
You talk about frights
C
In the verse of the every song
Dm
You tell me what’s wrong
G
But what’s right?
(G)
You’re seeing creation
[Chorus]
C F
That crushing never ending change is so full of love
F G C8 F
And so you’re waking to face the change in your role
F G C8 F
And with each restless shiver you wretch from your soul
F G
You’re asking, oooooh
C8 F
Is that something I’m not anymore?
F G C8 F
A brother to shake these broken chords till they turn gold
Em F C
[Verse]
Dm
And I tried
C
To survive without that gold
Dm
And wondering why
C
Our exchange can never hold

Well what’s right?
(G)
Stop trusting in demons
[Chorus]
C F
You’re scattered ever lonely buddy but so full of love
F G C8 F
Please stop repeating your terror you choose what you see
F G

F*: The F chord played at the beginning of each line sounds different from the F played at the end of the
