2.Whispers in the Dark
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLCgb1QNIOQ
Capo 2
C Am
You hold your truth so purely
G F Am
Swerve not through the minds of men
G
This lie, it is dead
C Am
And this cup of yours tastes holy
G F Am
A brush with the devil can clear your mind
G
And strengthen your spine
Am F C
But fingers tap into what you were once
Am F C
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
F C
Whispers in the dark
G Am
Steal a kiss and you'll break a heart
F C
Pick up your clothes and curl your toes
G Am
Learn your lesson, lead me home
F C
Spare my sins for the ark
G Am
I was to slow to depart
F Am
I'm a cad but I'm not a flawed
G C
I set out to serve the Lord.
F C
But my heart
F C
Was colder when you'd gone
F C
I lost my head
F C
But found the one that I loved
F C
Under the sun
G C
Under the sun
Am F C
But fingers tap into what you were once
Am F C
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
Am F C
But fingers tap into what you were once
Am F C
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
F C
But my heart
F C F
Was colder when you'd gone
C
I lost my head
F C
But still, while we are young
Am C
While we are young
Am C
While we are young
Am C
While we are young
-----------------------------------------------------

Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kS8RTRi7HA
Capo 1
C
And I came home
F
Like a stone
C G
And I fell heavy into your arms
C
These days of dust
F
Which we've known

Will blow away with this new sun
Am G C
And I'll kneel down
F C G
Wait for now
Am G C
And I'll kneel down
F C G
Know my ground
C Em G
And I will wait, I will wait for you
C Em G
And I will wait, I will wait for you
C
So break my step
F
And relent
C G
You forgave and I won't forget
C
Know what we've seen
F
And him with less
C
Now in some way
G
Shake the excess
C Em G
But I will wait, I will wait for you
C Em G
And I will wait, I will wait for you
C Em G
And I will wait, I will wait for you
C Em G
And I will wait, I will wait for you
C
So I'll be bold
F
As well as strong
C G
And use my head alongside my heart
C
So take my flesh
F
And fix my eyes
C G
That tethered mind free from the lies
Am G C
But I'll kneel down
F C G
Wait for now
Am G C
I'll kneel down
F C G
Know my ground
Am G C
Raise my hands
F C G
Paint my spirit gold
Am G C
And bow my head
F C G
Keep my heart slow
C Em G
Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
C Em G
And I will wait, I will wait for you
C Em G
And I will wait, I will wait for you
C Em G C
And I will wait, I will wait for you

I ran away in floods of shame

6.Lover of the Light
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZ0OIjHbUI
Capo 2
C
And in the middle of the night
F C
I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength
F C
of walls that I have grown
F G
There'll be no comfort in the shade
Am G F
of the shadows thrown
F C G C
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine
Stretch out my life
F C
and pick the seams out
Take what you like
F Em Am
but close my ears and eyes
F C F C G C
Watch me crumble over and over
I have done wrong
F C
so build your tower
But call me home
F G Am
and I will build a throne
F C F C G C
And wash my eyes out never again
F
But love the one you hold
G
And I'll be your goal
Am
To have and to hold
C
A lover of the light
Skin too tight
F C
and eyes like marbles
You spin me high
F G Am
so watch me as I glide
F C F C G C
Before I tumble homeward, homeward
I know I tried
F C
I was not stable
Flawed by pride
F G Am
I miss my sanguine eyes
F C F C G C
So hold my hands up, breathe in, breathe out
F
But love the one you hold
G
And I'll be your goal
Am
To have and to hold
C
A lover of the light
C
And in the middle of the night
F C
I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength
F C
of walls that I have grown
F G
There'll be no comfort in the shade
Am G F
of the shadows thrown
F G
You may not trust the promises
Am G F
of the change I'll show
F C G C
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine
F
But love the one you hold
G
And I'll be your goal
Am
To have and to hold
C
A lover of the light
F
But love the one you hold
G
And I'll be your goal
Am
To have and to hold
C
A lover of the light

7.Lovers' Eyes
Chords to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duuALhoygD8
Capo 2
C
Love was kind, for a time
G C
Now just aches and it makes me blind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
G C
I can't see the others in my life
C
Were we too young? And heads too strong?
G C
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes.
'Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue
G C
Neath the curse of these lover's eyes.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mumford_and_sons/babel_crd.html ]
F C
But do not ask the price I pay,
G C
I must live with my quiet rage,
F C
Tame the ghosts in my head,
G C
That run wild and wish me dead.
F C
Should you shake my ash to the wind
G C
Lord, forget all of my sins
F C
Oh, let me die where I lie
G C C F
Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.
C
There's no drink nor drug I tried
G C
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
And I feel numb, beneath your tongue
G C
Your strength just makes me feel less strong
F C
But do not ask the price I pay,
G C
I must live with my quiet rage,
F C
Tame the ghosts in my head,
G C
That run wild and wish me dead.
F C
Should you shake my ash to the wind
G C
Lord, forget all of my sins
F C
Oh, let me die where I lie
G C F C
Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.
C G C
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Am F C
Take my hand, help me on my way.
C G C
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Am F C
Take my hand, I'll be on my way.
C G C
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Am F C
Take my hand, help me on my way.
C G C
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Am F C
Take my hand, I'll be on my way.

Capo 3
G Bm Am Em D C
Hear my voice, I came out of the woods by choice

Shelter also gave their shade

And in the dark I have no name

Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart

You brought me out from the cold

10.Broken Crown (Not finished yet but here is lyrics + chorus and bridge chords)
Capo 5
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home safe and tucked away
Well you can't tempt me
If I don't see the day
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breath to breath a lie
Cause when I open my body I breath a lie
I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all short
Am G Am G Am C F
But oh my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
Am G Am G Am C F
So hold my hand consign me not to darkness
Am Em Am
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
Am Em Am
I'll never wear your broken crown
F Am
I took the rope and threw it all away
F Am
This twilight how dare you speak of grace
Am Em Am
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
Am Em Am
I'll never wear your broken crown
F Am
I took the rope and threw it all away
F Am
This twilight how dare you speak of grace
Am Em Am
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
Am Em Am
I'll never wear your broken crown
F Am
I took the rope and threw it all away
F Am
In his twilight are choices seal our fate

11.Below my Feet
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHnGJvYmQKg
Capo 4
G C G
You were cold as the blood through your bones
C G Em
And the light which led us from our chosen homes

Oh, I was lost.
So now I sleep
C G
Sleep the hours that I don't weep

And all I knew was steeped in blackened holes

Let me learn from where I have been

Keep my eyes to serve

My hands to learn

Well I was still

But I was under your spell

But I was told by Jesus

All was well

So all must be well

Just give me time

You know your desires and mine

So wrap my flesh in ivy and in twine

For I must be well

Keep the earth below my feet

14.The Boxer
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQpUs1qNxMM
Capo 5
G
I am just a poor boy
Em
Though my story's seldom told
D
I have squandered my resistance
G
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
Em
All lies and jests
D C
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
G D G
And disregards the rest
G
When I left my home and my family
Em
I was no more than a boy
D
In the company of strangers
G
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Em D C
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
G
Where the ragged people go
D C D G
Looking for the places only they would know
Em
Lie-la-lie
Bm
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Em
Lie la lie
D G
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
G
Asking only workman's wages
Em
I come looking for a job
D
But I get no offers,
G
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
Em D C
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
G
I took some comfort there
G
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
Em
And wishing I was gone
D
Going home
G
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Em D
Bleeding me, going home
Lie la lie ...
G
In the clearing stands a boxer
Em
And a fighter by his trade
D
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
G
Or cut him till he cried out
Em
In his anger and his shame
D C
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
G
But the fighter still remains
Em
Lie-la-lie
Bm
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Em
Lie la lie
D G
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

15.Where are You Now?
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqs98atWIe0
Capo 4
F C Am C
It came to the end it seems you had heard
F C
Cause we walked the city streets,
Am C
You never said a word
F C
When we finally sat down,
Am C
Your eyes were full of spite
F C
I was desperate, I was weak,
Am C
I could not put up a fight
F C
Where are you now?
Am C
Where are you now?
F C
Do you ever think of me
Am C
In the quiet, in the crowd?
F C
You were strangely less than pain
Am C
Than you were cold
F C
Triumphant in your mind
Am C
Of the logic that you hold.
F C
You said no one would ever know
Am C
The love that we had shared
F C
As I took my leave to go
Am C
It was clear that you didn't care.
F C
Where are you now?
Am C
Where are you now?
F C
Do you ever think of me
Am C
In the quiet, in the crowd?
F C
Where are you now?
Am C
Where are you now?
F C
Do you ever think of me
Am C
In the quiet, in the crowd?
F C
And I hear of your coming
Am C
and your going in the town.
F C
I hear stories of your smile,
Am C
I hear stories of your frown.
F C
You said no one would ever know
Am C
The love that we had shared
F C
As I took my leave to go
Am C
It was clear that you didn't care.
F C
Where are you now?
Am C
Where are you now?
F C
Do you ever think of me
Am C
In the quiet, in the crowd?
F C
Where are you now?
Am C
Where are you now?
F C
Do you ever think of me
Am C
In the quiet, in the crowd?
F C
Where are you now?
Am C
Where are you now?
F C
Do you ever think of me
Am C
In the quiet, in the crowd?
