[Intro]
C#m A E B
C#m A E B
C#m
The city sleeps but we're awake
C#m
We spirit home before the break
A
Of dawn upon the streets
A
In which we live and love and breathe
E
And half the high-rises have turned to dust
E
The Fairfields now are scrap and rust
B
The sirens sing, the west wind howls
What once was here was holy ground
C#m
Not now, and I confess that I've lately been a mess
A
So I wonder where you'll sleep tonight
A
And decide it would be best
E
To stay out late and not come home
E
To wander Kelvingrove alone
B
I'm young enough to still believe
B
Some faded glory might just shelter me
C#m A E B
C#m
And here is where my whole world turns
C#m
And here is where my heart returns
A
And here is where I've sworn and cursed
A
And here is where I kissed you first
E
In amber light shot through with rain
E
I swear I don't intend to waste
B
A syllable, each word is blessed
B
The truth must blaze through every single breath
F#m
Unbending, stark, a lit steeple against unending dark
E
And someone sprayed this on the wall: "I love it here"
E
I don't at all
C#m
Do you live for the love you've found?
C#m
Some sad slow song to lay you down
A
And still your weary worried heart
A
Throw light upon your darkest dark
E
That unsung psalm burst into flame
E
That wild black night that calls your name
B
O river, take my bloodied bones
B
The toll can have my heart to hold
C#m
Do you live for the loves you've lost?
C#m
Do they linger in your thoughts?
A
And ever in your fitful sleeps
A
In your wild and dark imaginings
E
Do you ever really dream of me?
E
And if you did what would that mean?
B
O river, take my bloodied bones
B
The toll can have my heart to hold
F#m
Unbending, stark, a lit steeple against unending dark
E
O river, take my bloodied bones
N.C.
The toll can have my heart to hold
[Outro]
C#m A E B
