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