(fingerpicked)
Em                     Bm 
Tomorrow you'll see it through
G                         Bm
The clouded out disguises put you in the room
D                         C
And though I wandered out alone
G                          Em       G
A thousand lights abounded on our home
C                    G
And I remember every sound it made
D                         Em 
The clouded out disguises and the grave
   C                     G
So yeah I know I'm still afraid
   Dsus4                        Em   G 
Of letting go of choices I have made
G   E
    All delighted people raise their hands

Em                    Bm 
And I took you by the sleeve
G                       Bm
No other reason than to be your leading man
Em                     Bm      E 
And you woke up with a fright
G                         Bm
Our lives depended on the visions through the night
Em                            Bm                      E 
All we had always, all we had always wanted to before
G                          Bm                  E 
The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor
E
All delighted people raise their hands

Em                        Bm       E 
Still the force of nature spurned
G                           Bm            E 
Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement
E
All delighted people raise their hands

C                 G
I'm not easily confused
    D                                Em   G
The trouble with the storm inside us grew
But I had so much to give
In spite of all the terror and abuse

G   E   B

D                                      (to fingerpick)
All delighted people raise their hands
C                        G
And the people bowed and prayed
Bm                          G
And what difference does it make?
G                    C
It doesn't matter anyway
Bm           G/B                E------
The world surrounds us with its hate

Em                    Bm 
Hello darkness my old friend 
G                            Bm
I've come to strangle you in spite of what you'd like
Em                                Bm                            E 
And don't be a rascal, don't be a laughing dog in spite of odds
G                            Bm             E 
All I'm deciphering from the spirits in the light within
E
All delighted people raise their hands

Em                          Bm    E 
In restless dreams I walked alone
The clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness
All delighted people raise their hands

C                        G
And the people bowed and prayed
D                    C
To the neon god they made
C                           G
And what difference does it make?
D                  C
I love you so much anyway
G                           G
And on your breast I gently laid
C                            Bm
Your arms surround me in the lake
G/B                  E-------
I am joined with you forever
