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

The day before we went to war
