[Verse 1]
D Cmaj7/E C G
Light ended the night, but the song remained
D Cmaj7/E C G
And I was hiding by the stair, half here, half there, past the lashing rain
D Cmaj7/E F#m G
And as the sky would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind
A G D
As we stood, congregated, at the firing line
[Verse 2]
D Cmaj7/E C G
Night ended the fight, but the song remained
D Cmaj7/E G
And so I headed to the wall, turned tail to call to the new domain
D Cmaj7/E F#m G
As if in the sight of sea, you're suddenly free but it's all the same
A G D G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
A G D G D Cmaj7/E F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
D Cmaj7/E F#m G
[Refrain 1]
F
Was I too slow?
Am Em
Did you change overnight?
G
Second son, on the other line
[Verse 3]
D Cmaj7/E C G
Now, back in our town as a castaway
D Cmaj7/E C G
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line, on the third of May
D Cmaj7/E F#m G
As if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away
A G D G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
A G D G D Cmaj7/E F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
D Cmaj7/E F#m G
[Refrain 2]
F
Was I too slow?
Am Em
Did I change overnight?
G Dm
Second son, for the second time
