Verse 1:
 Cm                                    Eb
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
G#                             Bb
Yesterday's buds are tomorrows flowers
Cm                                          Eb
Those who speak numbers refuse the great forgiver
    G#                                   Bb
and powerful men raise their hands and deliver
Cm                                    Eb
All the superstitions to which we all cling
G#                                       Bb
While high minds in geneva ponder e8 vs string

The sun hides itself, concealing its grin
    G#                                   Bb
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again

white tails graze and wolves devour

Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines

Nicotine babies being born with no spines

The god of the sea is swinging his trident

The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din

And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
