 The strumming pattern is the real trick in this song, listen to it more
 than a few times and eventually it will make sense.
 
 (listen carefully for this timing)
 Intro: A D E A
 D E D E A D 
       
 E 
  
            D              A    
 And so I'd stumble in the light
                      D    
 The night was always there
                E     
 To end all repetition
 
           D               A     
 Insane? I bother with the blinds
              D            E   
 Carry on and love will be here
 
                         Bm      
 I met this girl from my old town
                     E  
 But sadly she could see
                      A       
 I'm still a bunch of memories
                 D      
 And sh*t that I believe
 
                  Bm  
 And suddenly the rain
 E (let it ring out)
 Is the only part you feel
                                 A   D 
 And there's the darkness of the dream
 D     E 
 Oh Lord
 E               D               A   D 
 And there's the darkness of the dream
 D     E 
 Oh Lord
 
             D              A    
 But she was something of a flame
             D           
 Just telling me to quiet
                 E      
 Excuses and the visions
 
          D                    A    
 Just let yourself out of your sight
                   D            E   
 Careless and some love will be here
 
                                Bm  
 And now you sleep and get some rest
                        E   
 From all the songs you make
                        A       
 They're all a bunch of mirrors,
                  D     
 And f**k it, I'm afraid
 
                   Bm  
 That suddenly the rain
                      E   
 Is the only part you feel
                                 A   D 
 And there's the darkness of the dream
 
             Bm                       E               
 She said, I ain't got no time for no broken believers
     A                    D  
 And lie like the foolish one
             Bm                        E               
 It's taking hours and days and I just want to hold you
     A              D   
 And end of a wait begun
 
                   Bm              E   
 I said I think of hours in everyone...
 
     D                      A  
 The letting go is here and now
                       D   
 The beauty is in your arms
                   E     
 No mind is out to wander
 
          D                    A    
 Just let yourself out of your sight
                   D            E    
 Careless and some love will be there
 
                                    Bm   
 And now there's this dancer in the dream
                    E    
 Just rowing in the night
                        A      
 And I can't believe how pretty
                         D    
 And I can't believe the signs
 
                  Bm   
 When suddenly the rain
 E (let it ring out)
 Is the only part you feel
                               A    D 
 And there's a darkness of the dream
 
 (strum once per chord)
 F#m       Bm                   E       
 A fear of heart and all of its turnings
          A             D 
 And it's never letting go
 F#m           Bm                       E    
 I'm sure I'll sleep when all this goes under
          A            D     
 But now, will I sleep alone?
 
 (start strumming slowly)
 E (let it ring out)
 It only starts with a river
 
                                      A           D 
 But I know it's only waiting for the golden ground

 (this part is very hard to make out due to the drowned
 out guitar)
      A             
 It's wide and awake
         D              
 But I'm showing up late
        Bm                     
 On the way there was something
                 E   
 That told me to stay
   A                   
 I feed on the sunlight
     D                       Bm  E 
 But sunlight just drives me away
        A          
 In the loving game
 
     A             
 The summer is deep
         D             
 And the memories still
     Bm            
 The garden is full
         E             
 And I'm way over hills
   A                           D      
 I see there's a line that I'm walking
                  Bm  E 
 And I'm just the same
 
         A           
 It's an endless game
 Bm                     E    D 
 In the darkness of the dream
 
 end on A
