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