Am G D*
We built this place with high hopes, blood on our hands,
Em G Bm D*
Em D C*
A giant on our shoulders, and maps of unfound land,
Bm Em*
Am G D*
God would give his blessings, in a language I don't speak,
Em D Bm D*
Em D C*
A blessing for the waking, the tired and the weak,
N.C.
Bm D*
Em D Cmaj7*
A promise of a new day, born with every little seed,
C Am G D Em D Am
And gardens growing over, with snow white baby thimbleweed.

Verse 2:
Bm Em*
Am G D*
Then came the first eruptions, and everybody was amazed,
Em G Bm D*
Em D C*
A triumph for the structure, and all the memories it erased,
Bm Em*
Am G D*
But structures are forever, and do not care about the mind,
Em G Bm D*
Em D C*
We hid behind our eyelids, in fear of what we'd find,
N.C.
Bm D Em D C*
Now everyone was sleeping, heavier than ever before,
C Am G D Em D C
As broken vows and dead dreams, washed upon a silver shore.

Am G D*
I sat there by the window, as the hours turned to years,
Em G Bm D*
Em D C*
And never gave up hoping, there would be something for me here,
G Bm Em*
G D C*
Now everyone was waiting, for a day that never came,
G Em D*
Em D C*
And wherever the wind blew, the sky would stay the same.
