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