[Intro]
* E string played open between A and F chords. This continues any time these chords appear
C Bm Am * Fmaj7 G6 C
C Bm Am * Fmaj7 G6 C
[Verse 1]
C Bm Am
It comes tapping at your window
Fmaj7 G6 C
Like the midnight rain in June
C Bm Am
Starts with inocence then grows up slow
Fmaj7 G6 C
Until the thunder shakes the room
[Verse 2]
C Bm Am
My dear I feel like I could fall hard
Fmaj7 G6 C
Though its been a year or two
C Bm Am
I recognise those worry lines like scars
Fmaj7 G6 C
There is something coming back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
E Am
And how I wish this storm could drown and wash your ghosts away
E Fmaj G
If overnights best darkened clouds just pour out and dissipate
[Chorus]
C G6 Fmaj7
But if your silhouette is riveted and silence
C G6 Fmaj7
Like a wallflower in a dark lit room
C G6 Am Fmaj7
And in that moment when you eye the exit signs above the door
G
And everyone just wants a little more
A little more, a little more
Fmaj7 G6 C Fmaj7 G6 C
I'll give it back to you, if you want me to
Fmaj7 G6 C G
I'll give it back to you and I'll just do without
Fmaj7 G6 C Fmaj7 G6 C
I'll give it back to you, if you need me to
Fmaj7 G6 C G
I'll give it back to you and walk away to the sound of the heart that slows down

[Verse 3]
C Bm Am
You're like the lighting in the distance
Fmaj7 G C
The second everything is cleared
C Bm Am
And there's suspended in the instant
Fmaj7 G C
I wonder hangs above our fear
[Pre-Chorus]
E Am
But when the light strikes every town around us feels the shock
E Fmaj G
But even so I try to slow downtown and dance in the breath we've got
[Chorus]
C G6 Fmaj7
But if your silhouette is riveted and silence
C G6 Fmaj7

Oh
[Outro]
C Bm Am
Oh father tell me and be honest

Is some life meant to break your dreams
C Bm Am
To get our eyes used to the darkness
Fmaj7 G
So come here light
C Bm Am
We'll finally see
