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