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

We can all feel it
