Capo 1
Verse 1
G – Bm – Em – – – Bm – – – C – – – D – – – x3
And though you'd like to hear a song that sings everything's all right
The temperature is warm, the fire horses sleep, so gently comes the night
Now close your eyes and stare, the ground they're on is bare
But once it was as deep, and wild as giants' dreams, it's no longer there
And all of our desires, could mirror skies with flames
And smoke out heaven's halls, who was that you called? They're no longer there
Pre-Chorus 1
B – D#m – F# – – – B – D#m – G#m – C# – Here it goes again (x3)
Chorus 1
D#m – F# – B – F# – x3What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead
When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept?
What would you leave behind when those who bear your name are born in that place that you wrecked?
C# – B – C# – – –
What would you leave behind when you're no longer there?
Break + Verse 2
G – Bm – Em – – – Bm – – – C – – – D – – – x3
Would you sail to distant shores, and hide within the haze?
Softly close your door, pretend the world was saved, and wait for heaven's call?
Or would you turn and face the sea, and calmly decide you care?
There's chance but if you dare, and swift as honour's steeds, before it's no longer there
Pre-Chorus 2
B – D#m – F# – – – B – D#m – G#m – C# – Here it goes again (x3)
Chorus 2
D#m – F# – B – F# – x3What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead
When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept?
What would you leave behind when those who bear your name are born in that place that you wrecked?
C# – B – C# – – –
What would you leave behind when you're no longer there?
Ending
B – D#m – C# – – – B – D#m – C# – – – B – C# – F# – – –
To deny or to despair, they're really just the same
And everything between, it means we have to change
Cos when a one forgets, their world begins to fade
And all the shapes and shades that made their colours see
Well they suddenly turn grey then they're no longer there
