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