Verse 1: 
    D       Dsus                    D            Dsus 
A bus station, in the steam from the rain 
      Bm          A        G                       D   Dsus 
In this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay? 
                    D    Dsus                  D          Dsus 
The whole field of vision, fades beneath me now 
         Bm          A              G            
And the houses spread for a million miles, 
               D   Dsus 
in this gray town 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
          Bm        Bm7           G              A 
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand 
           Bm        Bm7           G              A 
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance 
Bm Bm7 A Would you fall to pieces Bm Bm7 D Would you fall to pieces Bm Bm7 A Would you fall to pieces D Dsus In the high countries?
Verse 2: D Dsus D Dsus We are just pilgrims of the great divorce Bm A G D I am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorse Pre-Chorus: Bm Bm7 G A And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand Bm Bm7 G A It would pass right through you, so now's your chance (Chorus) Bridge: A Bm G D You drink the cup to the bottom, but it burns in your hands A Bm G A The cup was poured out on the Maker instead Verse 3: D Dsus D Dsus Out on the green plains, I am but a ghost Bm A G D Dsus Bound up with all that I call mine; still the light grows (Chorus 2x)
