F#m C#m
tomorrow youll see it through

A Bm Bm7
the clouded out disguises put you in the room

E D
and though i wandered out alone

A E F#m A
a thousand lights abounded on our home

D A
and i remember every sound it made

E F#m A
the clouded out disguises and the grave

D A
so yeah i know im still afraid

E F#m A D
of letting go of choices i have made

E
all delighted people raise their hands

F#m C#m
and i took you by the sleeve

A Bm D
no other reason than to be your leading man

F#m C#m Cm
and you woke up with a fright

A Bm D
our lives depended on the visions through the night

F#m C#m Cm
oh we had always , oh we had always wanted to before

A Bm F#
the hurricane inclined us , grappling on the floor

E
all delighted people raise their hands

F#m C#m Cm
still the force of nature spurns

A Bm F#
ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement

E
all delighted people raise their hands

D A
and im not easily confused

E F#m A
the trouble with the storm inside us brews

D A
but i have so much to give

E F#m A
in spite of all the terror and abuse

all im deciphering from the spirits in the light within

the clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness
