Verse
C# C#
Coming all around us in the blue light of the morning
C# D#m
The whole entire world was in your eyes
D#m D#m
Felt so powerless and simple, the rain was on the window
D#m C#
Sliding down and dripping all inside
[Verse 2]
C# C#
So I walked down by the water, saw the pulsing mass was shining
C# D#m
Listened to the things out in the night
D#m D#m
Threw my dollars on the fire, crawled out through the wire
C#
Hoping we'd eventually collide
[Chorus]
F# Fm D#m C#
Hold my head to the skin I said, when my heart wasn't always there
F# Fm D#m C#
As you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
C# C#
Through the darkness I kept moving, down the streets and through the alleys
C# D#m
Hiding in the doorways from the cold
D#m D#m
And everything was pretty, stealing through the city
D#m C#
Always somewhere better left to go
[Verse 4]
C# C#
So I climbed up on the mountain and the clouds were all around me
C# D#m
I stumbled on, I could not see the light
D#m D#m
Always running from the slaughter, trembling through the water
D#m C#
Trying to find away back down inside
[Chorus]
F# Fm D#m C#
Hold my head to the skin I said, when my heart wasn't always there
F# Fm D#m C#
As you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!

[Verse 5]
C# C#
In the shadows I was walking, I was hidden from the morning
C# D#m
Everything just seemed to fade away
D#m D#m
I was living in a movie, you never even knew me
D#m C#
The people looked right through me everyday
[Verse 6]
C# C#
It was coming all around us in the blue light of the morning
C# D#m
The whole entire world was in your eyes
D#m D#m
Felt so powerless and simple, the rain was on the window
D#m C#
Sliding down and dripping all inside
