Intro 1
(G minor)
Verse 1
in the (G minor) afternoon
Shadows crawl across the land
Shadows
Tied backs bending in the
afternoon the
Pockets glove the tired hand
(F major) (C major) (E flat major) (G major) (G minor)
Walking slowly to the domicile
Built from mud and boredom and tears
Dreams unloosening the hidden smile
He's been saving up for
you (F major) (C major) (C minor) (E flat major) (G major)
Rapture's secret returns to sleep
Tantalizing those who are (C major) weak
Offering (C minor) in low -language tones (G major) (E major)
House (A minor) (C major) s that (D major) cannot be (G major) homes
A pioneering spirit abounds
In dreams that we keep fastening down (C major)
In (C minor) dreams that to live must be
free (G major) (E major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (E flat major) (D major) (G major)
Don't (C major) be bound or trapped (E flat major)
by (D major) the (G major) odds
Take (E major) from the past what you need (A minor)
To give (C major) to the new life you lead (D major)
Run (G major) from the false golden cross
Hides all the heartbreak and rust (C major)
Run (C minor) to the arms of your (G major) youth (E major)
Run (C major) to the (D major) arms of the truth. (G major) (G minor)
Run
Sunlight fading in the afternoon.
Shadows crawl across the land,
tiebacks bending in the afternoon,
pockets closed tight. (G minor)
