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