F#m C#m
Tomorrow you’ll see it through
A Bm Bm7
The clouded out disguises put you in the room
E D
And though I wandered out alone
A E F#m A
A thousand lights abounded on our home
D A
And I remember every sound it made
E F#m A
The clouded out disguises and the grave
D A
So yeah I know I’m still afraid
E F#m A D
Of letting go of choices I have made
E
All Delighted people raise their hands
F#m C#m
And I took you by the sleeve
A Bm D
No other reason than to be your leading man
F#m C#m Cm
And you woke up with a fright
A Bm D
Our lives depended on the visions through the night
F#m C#m Cm
Oh we had always, Oh we had always wanted to before
A Bm F#
The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor
E
All Delighted people raise their hands
F#m C#m Cm
Still the force of nature spurns
A Bm F#
Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement
E
All Delighted people raise their hands
D A
And I’m not easily confused
E F#m A
The trouble with the storm inside us brews
D A
But I have so much to give
E F#m A
In spite of all the terror and abuse

Hello darkness, my old friend

I’ve come to strangle you in spite of what you’d like

All I’m deciphering from the spirits in the light within

To the neon god they made

Your arms surround me in the lake
