Two Tales(Chords)

	        
 

Intro: Em D C (x2) 

verse 1 
Em                D                    C 
Light up my lantern, I'll cut you a path,  
C                                          Em D C 
We've walked for hours and it's getting dark 
Em                 D                 C 
We left the roadside in search of aid,  
C                                       Em C D 
Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made 


G                    D                    C 
I've never seen someone bleeding like this,  
C                                       Em D C 
Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist 


verse 2 
Em                  D                    C 
I'll light the stove and sit by the hearth,  
C                                Em D C 
Orangey glow light the wintry dark 
Em                D                C 
We kept her bedroom exactly the same,  
C                                         Em C D 
Winters they followed and Summers they came 


G                 D                       C 
He'd bash around, banging down on the floor 
C                                 Em D C 
I sit alone with an eye on the door 


Bridge - Strumming (Personal Preference)

G                    D                       C 
Stop in this clearing, we'll stay here tonight 
C                   Em                    D 
Press up against me, I'll hold you so tight 
D                   C                       G 
I got these matches, we'll let off some smoke 
G                   D                   C 
Maybe they'll see us and maybe they won't 
C                   Em                        D 
Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars,  
D                  C                Em D C  
I'll lie awake listening out for cars 

verse 3 
Em                      D                           C 
He stares through curtains when he talks to the night,  
C                                     Em D C 
I sit and listen for tires on the drive 
Em                   D                  C 
I keep on waiting and he keeps on talking 
C                                            Em C D  
Just stop him talking, please stop him talking 

Outro - Just strum downwards here no upward strums 
G  D                  C 
    No, give me silence 
Em   D               C 
    Give me silence,  
G   D              C 
    Give me silence 
C   D       Em 
Oh, no...
