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