Intro 
Am G D C X 2

Verse
Am            G          D              C
I think of us lately all dressed to the night
Am            G          D              C
I think of us lying and so calmed in wine
Am            G          D              C
I think of us breathing and breathing in time
Am            G          D              C
We are the beaters that drum in the night

Pre-Chrous
D Dsus4     C
                And the silence comes
D Dsus4     C
                And you can't help but sigh
D Dsus4     C
                We exhale when the battle is won
D Dsus4     C
                You exhale and the thread is undone

Chrous
G                                  D
You're the forest each side of the road
C
You're the swimmer with pockets of stones
Em                   D                          C
Oh in me you are the kite string and the anchor rope


Interlude 
Am G D C X 2

Verse 2
Am            G           D           C
I think of us leaving to some warmer climes
Am            G           D           C
Walking out into the cold empty tide
Am            G           D           C
I think of us dancing, oh dancing all night
Am            G           D           C
Walking home later and later at night

Bridge
Em                D             Am        Em
You're falling to sleep for the very last time
C               G  D                  C
It's oh nice to see That look in your eyes
Em                  D       Am       Em
And the people they beg, to see you again
C               G    D                  C
So put on your shoes Take off from your mind

Pre Chrous
D Dsus4     C
                And the silence comes
D Dsus4     C
                And you can't help but sigh
D Dsus4     C
                We exhale when the battle is won
D Dsus4     C
                You exhale and the thread is undone

Chrous
G                                  D
You're the forest each side of the road
C
You're the swimmer with pockets of stones
Em                   D                          C
Oh in me you are the kite string and the anchor rope
G                       D
The kite string and the anchor rope
C                                       
The kite string and the anchor rope
Em  D                          C                
The kite string and the anchor rope

Outro 
Am G D C X 2
