[Verse 1]

When you're out beyond the pale

Hear the far off sirens wail

Real life ain't real enough

Light your candle

Put it in my window

And you're wallowing in defeat

Something they can't take away

I'll meet you in the mornin'

When the sun will meet the sky

Set the heavens all alight

Take a look before it's gone
A D
Nothing really lasts for long
A F#m
All the cities and walls
C#m Bm E
I'd see 'em all burn for you
[Chorus]
F#m
In the shade of the poplar tree
A
On the high noon's whispered breeze
Bm C#m D E A E
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
A Bm E 4x
[Verse 4]
A Bm E
When the gallows are being built

You can see from your window sill

All the things you might've done

Burning up in the morning sun

Come evening time

We'll be swingin'
[Verse 5]

The night is ours lets not forget

We haven't lost anything yet

Ain't it all been like a dream

I for one don't care what it means

I'll be alright

They won't break me
[Verse 6]

When the heart is overflowed
A Bm E
With a joy no vessel can hold

Everything comes back to you

Just the way you want it to

Like a water winds
C#m Bm E
To the ground that's breaking

In the shade of the poplar tree

On the high noon's whispered breeze

By the banks of the river falling
Bm C#m D E
On the line where the star's revolving
Bm C#m D E A E A E
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
A Bm E 4x
