Intro
D#m D#m D#m C# x2
[Verse 1]
D#m
All the pictures on the wall
C#
The sand lying on the floor
D#m
The bed upstairs, still unmade
D#m
The dust float in the light
C#
The people just left
Cm
All laughter and mess
A#m
Forgetting this and that
G#m F# C#
And rushing back
[Verse 2]
D#m
The front door open
D#m D#m
The music still playing in one room
D#m
Down the hall
C# D#m
And towels on the floor
D#m
And then it's quiet
D#m
Just the bees and birds
C#
The summer haze
Cb A#m
Of the trees, and the air
G#m F# C#
Feeds it all, feeds it all
[Chorus]
D#m
We can all feel it
C# Cb
Like a light hand on your back
A#m
Welcoming you
D#m
We can all feel it
C# Cb
Like a light hand on your back
A#m
Welcoming you
G#m F# C#
The day before we went to war
C#
The day before we went to war
C# D#m
We can all feel it
[Verse 3]
D#m
All the parasols and kids at play
C#
The sea so still and calm
D#m
Blue as the cloudless sky
C#
Just the gentle hum
D#m
Of the summer's goings on
D#m
Broken by the sudden rush
D#m
Of two planes
C#
Flying low and fast
Cb A#m
Into the sun, into the sun
[Chorus]
D#m
We can all feel it
C# Cb
Like a light hand on your back
A#m
Welcoming you
D#m
We can all feel it
C# Cb
Like a light hand on your back
A#m
Welcoming you
G#m F# C#
The day before we went to war
C#
The day before we went to war
C# D#m
We can all feel it
[Instrumental]
D#m D#m D#m C# x2
G#m F# C#
[Chorus]
D#m
We can all feel it
C# Cb
Like a light hand on your back
A#m
Welcoming you
D#m
We can all feel it
C# Cb
Like a light hand on your back
A#m
Welcoming you
G#m F# C#
The day before we went to war
C#
The day before we went to war
