A D E Bm F#m
The strumming pattern is the real trick in this song, listen to it more
than a few times and eventually it will make sense.
(listen carefully for this timing)
[Intro]
A D E A
D E D E A D
E
[Verse 1]
D A
And so I'd stumble in the light
D
The night was always there
E
To end all repetition
D A
Insane? I bother with the blinds
D E
Carry on and love will be here
Bm
I met this girl from my old town
E
But sadly she could see
A
I'm still a bunch of memories
D
And shit that I believe
[Chorus]
Bm
And suddenly the rain
E (let it ring out)
Is the only part you feel
A D
And there's the darkness of the dream
D E
Oh Lord
E D A D
And there's the darkness of the dream
D E
Oh Lord
[Verse 2]
D A
But she was something of a flame
D
Just telling me to quiet
E
Excuses and the visions
D A
Just let yourself out of your sight
D E
Careless and some love will be here
Bm
And now you sleep and get some rest
E
From all the songs you make
A
They're all a bunch of mirrors,
D
And fuck it, I'm afraid
[Chorus]
Bm
That suddenly the rain
E
Is the only part you feel
A D
And there's the darkness of the dream
Bm E
She said, I ain't got no time for no broken believers
A D
And lie like the foolish one
Bm E
It's taking hours and days and I just want to hold you
A D
And end of a wait begun
Bm E
I said I think of hours in everyone...
[Verse 3]
D A
The letting go is here and now
D
The beauty is in your arms
E
No mind is out to wander
D A
Just let yourself out of your sight
D E
Careless and some love will be there
Bm
And now there's this dancer in the dream
E
Just rowing in the night
A
And I can't believe how pretty
D
And I can't believe the signs
[Chorus]
Bm
When suddenly the rain
E (let it ring out)
Is the only part you feel
A D
And there's a darkness of the dream
(strum once per chord)
F#m Bm E
A fear of heart and all of its turnings
A D
And it's never letting go
F#m Bm E
I'm sure I'll sleep when all this goes under
A D
But now, will I sleep alone?
(start strumming slowly)
E (let it ring out)
It only starts with a river
A D
But I know it's only waiting for the golden ground
[Break]
E D A D
E D A D
E D A D
E D A D
E
(this part is very hard to make out due to the drowned
out guitar)
A
It's wide and awake
D
But I'm showing up late
Bm
On the way there was something
E
That told me to stay
A
I feed on the sunlight
D Bm E
But sunlight just drives me away
A
In the loving game
A
The summer is deep
D
And the memories still
Bm
The garden is full
E
And I'm way over hills
A D
I see there's a line that I'm walking
Bm E
And I'm just the same
A
It's an endless game
Bm E D
In the darkness of the dream
end on A
