[Intro]

D G Bsus4 B7
Em F#dim
D G Bsus4 B7
Em F#dim
Would you just tell them what I cannot say?
D G Bsus4 B7
Would you just shine upon the ghosts on my way?
Em F#dim
I dropped the game of throwing knives alone;
D G
There must be marks on every tree
Bsus4 B7 C B7
From the paths to our home.
Em F#dim
Only the mayfly used to tell me so;
D G Bsus4 B7
Now here is August, drop your weight, just let go.
Em F#dim
Now midnight sun takes turns with northern lights.
D G Bsus4 B7 C Bsus4 B7
Will I ever have to feel what those blades were about?
C G
And in that sound of sighing, that empty howl,
B7 Em Em7/D C
And all the everloving bends in the line of your tries.
G
Some ends forgotten and some others believed;
B7 Em Em7/D C
Whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas.
G B7 C
When you know you're already young
G B7 C
Like the grass withered to become
B7
Again and free;
Em
It's all we'll ever be.
Em F#dim
I don't remember where I learned to dive,
D G Bsus4 B7
But I am humble for the rocks when I try.
Em F#dim
And somehow I am lowered unto the waves,
D G Bsus4 B7 C Bsus4 B7
And now with you I feel the sun and the salt on my face.
C G
And in that sound of sighing, that empty howl,
B7 Em Em7/D C
And all the everloving bends in the line of your tries.
G
Some ends forgotten and some others believed;
B7 Em Em7/D C
Whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas.
G B7 C
When you know you're already young
G B7 C
Like the grass withered to become
B7
Again and free;
Em
It's all we'll ever be.
[Instrumental]
Em F#dim
D G Bsus4 B7
Em F#dim
D G Bsus4 B7
Em F#dim
The tired motion of the rusty bell--
D G Bsus4 B7
Just humming, "visitor, I quit; go to hell."
Em F#dim
I've been the tower but now walk alone.
D G
There must be marks on every page
Bsus4 B7 C Bsus4 B7
From the past to these songs.
C G
And in that sound of sighing, that empty howl,
B7 Em Em7/D C
And all the everloving bends in the line of your tries.
G
Some ends forgotten and some others believed;
B7 Em Em7/D C
Whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas.
G B7 C
When you know you're already young
G B7 C
Like the grass withered to become
B7
Again and free;
Em
It's all we'll ever be.
