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

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you
Bm A E
The day before we went to war
E
The day before we went to war
