Intro
D Em A 4x
[Verse 1]
D Em A
When you're out beyond the pale
D Em 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 Bm
Light your candle
F#m Em A
Put it in my window
[Verse 2]
D Em A
When you're all but obsolete
D Em 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 Bm
Hold on tight
F#m Em A
I'll meet you in the mornin'
[Verse 3]
D Em A
When the sun will meet the sky
D Em A
Set the heavens all alight
D G
Take a look before it's gone
D G
Nothing really lasts for long
D Bm
All the cities and walls
F#m Em A
I'd see 'em all burn for you
[Chorus]
Bm
In the shade of the poplar tree
D
On the high noon's whispered breeze
Em F#m G A D A
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
D Em A 4x
[Verse 4]
D Em A
When the gallows are being built
D Em 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 Bm
Come evening time
F#m Em A
We'll be swingin'
[Verse 5]
D Em A
The night is ours lets not forget
D Em 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 Bm
I'll be alright
F#m Em A
They won't break me
[Verse 6]
D Em A
When the heart is overflowed
D Em 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 Bm
Like a water winds
F#m Em A
To the ground that's breaking
[Chorus]
Bm
In the shade of the poplar tree
D
On the high noon's whispered breeze
Em F#m G A
By the banks of the river falling
Em F#m G A
On the line where the star's revolving
Em F#m G A D A D A
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
D Em A 4x
