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

D#m C# G#
[Chorus]
A#m
We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back
Fm
Welcoming you
A#m
We can all feel it
G# Gb
Like a light hand on your back
Fm
Welcoming you
D#m C# G#
The day before we went to war
G#
The day before we went to war
