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

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

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