INTRO
(Gmaj7 Cmaj7) x2
VERSE 1
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
This cocoon, caught in Vesuvius' shadow
Gmaj7
Only the ashes remain
Cmaj7
And I waited there for you
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Why couldn't you?
VERSE 2
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Here we lie waiting for something to startle
Gmaj7
To shake us from gravity's pull
Cmaj7
And so sleeping hours are through
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
What can we do?
PRE-CHORUS
Em Cmaj7 Am7
The sorry conclusion, the low dirty war, it happened before you came to
Em Cmaj7
But this is solution, and this is amends
Am7
The joke always tends to come true
F Dm A
But there on your windowsill over the unmoving platoon
F Dm A
Written in paperback, view to the quarterback's room
C
Under waning moon
CHORUS
G/B Gm/A# Am
This quiet serves only to hide you
Em/B Am
Provide you
C Cm Gmaj7 Cmaj7
What I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
VERSE 3
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Take this palm, follow the lines here are written
Gmaj7
And script out the rest of your life
Cmaj7
And feel your fingers falling slack
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And all folding back
PRE-CHORUS
Em Cmaj7
The tainted election, the hole in the sky
Am7
Command what is tried, what is true
Em Cmaj7
But without solution, with feet on the ground
Am7
It won't make a sound 'til you're through
F Dm
So loosen your shoulder blades
A
This is your hour to make due
F Dm
Because there on the timberline
A
Deep cold November shines through
C
Soft and absolute
CHORUS
G/B Gm/A# Am
This quiet serves only to hide you
Em/B Am
Provide you
C Cm Gmaj7 Cmaj7
What I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you
