Em G
There's a light beyond the sticks and stones
D C
Past the piles of broken bones
G F
It could melt a frozen heart
C
If it needs to be so.
(Same for rest of song)
It's the place to cut the weeds and wires
And dodge the thorns and quills
It's a place divides
Divide where the river stand still
( G,C here) Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(Back to Em,G,D.C ; G,F,C pattern)
It is time to weather stormy seas
And suck the venom clear
We could clean the poison veins
And while we are here
We could shake the buzzards off our tails
And keep the snakes at bay
Hear the sirens fade and the thunder rumble away
(G,F, Em, C for 1st and 3rd lines here
and G,F, C for 2nd and 4th lines)
It's the place tectonic plates will pass each other not to touch
That's the sound of the new silent life
It's the place where all divides divide and the rivers all stand still
That's the sound of the new silent life
