Intro
E F#m B 4x
[Verse 1]
E F#m B
When you're out beyond the pale
E F#m B
Hear the far off sirens wail
E A
And this life don't measure up
E A
Real life ain't real enough
E C#m
Light your candle
G#m F#m B
Put it in my window
[Verse 2]
E F#m B
When you're all but obsolete
E F#m B
And you're wallowing in defeat
E A
And you long for some kind of grace
E A
Something they can't take away
E C#m
Hold on tight
G#m F#m B
I'll meet you in the mornin'
[Verse 3]
E F#m B
When the sun will meet the sky
E F#m B
Set the heavens all alight
E A
Take a look before it's gone
E A
Nothing really lasts for long
E C#m
All the cities and walls
G#m F#m B
I'd see 'em all burn for you
[Chorus]
C#m
In the shade of the poplar tree
E
On the high noon's whispered breeze
F#m G#m A B E B
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
E F#m B 4x
[Verse 4]
E F#m B
When the gallows are being built
E F#m B
You can see from your window sill
E A
All the things you might've done
E A
Burning up in the morning sun
E C#m
Come evening time
G#m F#m B
We'll be swingin'
[Verse 5]
E F#m B
The night is ours lets not forget
E F#m B
We haven't lost anything yet
E A
Ain't it all been like a dream
E A
I for one don't care what it means
E C#m
I'll be alright
G#m F#m B
They won't break me
[Verse 6]
E F#m B
When the heart is overflowed
E F#m B
With a joy no vessel can hold
E A
Everything comes back to you
E A
Just the way you want it to
E C#m
Like a water winds
G#m F#m B
To the ground that's breaking
[Chorus]
C#m
In the shade of the poplar tree
E
On the high noon's whispered breeze
F#m G#m A B
By the banks of the river falling
F#m G#m A B
On the line where the star's revolving
F#m G#m A B E B E B
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
E F#m B 4x
E
