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