(Intro:)  D - A - Em - D - A 


       D                                  A 
Well, 'All is well in order' is what you thought you heard them say 
    Em                               D          A 
and so you drifted off to see what's not in yourself 
D                               A 
Light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains? 
Em                                    D 
No more nights of what you wrote back then, 
     A       G        D  A 
no relief of no rain 


        D                               A 
And so, singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within 
    Em                            D              A 
and telling people lies of lions, treasures, and kings 
D                                 A 
Nothing's more revealing than the dancer and the doubt 
Em                            D            A            G 
waving to forget what's never gone, always there, never right 


A                       D             A 
  In all these riots of broken sounds 
                        Em 
Like the last voice you heard 
         A           D     A   Em   D   A 
then you drowned, oh lord 


          D                                    A 
You know, this is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails 
    Em                               D          A 
and minnows in your pockets when the rapid's on trails 
D                            A 
this is not the future but I sense it's right up there 
    Em                         D             A      G 
oh, just another hour, another pass, another day anywhere 


A                        D            A 
  In all these riots of broken sounds 
                     Em 
And you sleep on the track 
      A         D    A   Em   D   A 
every night, oh lord 


G 
And we don't know if your treasure is safe 
               A            D              Bm 
where will you be when they find you, son? 
        G 
And you know they're always following me 
          A             D                      Bm 
so when I get there you trust me son, and just leave, 
           A     A6  A7 
I'll catch up 


D                                  A 
This is where you're passionate of seasons and their strength 
    Em                                     D              A 
and this is where you breathe and walk and know they will end 
D                              A 
Light is turning slowly to the hand upon your chest 
   Em                                  D              A              G 
so lay it on the plains where there is time, there is love, there is rest 


A                         D              A 
  From all these riots of broken sounds 
Em 
When you sleep on the track 
      A         D     A   Em   D   A   
every night, oh lord 


(Break:)   G - A - A6   -   G - A - A6 


       G 
And we don't know if your treasure is safe 
               A            D              Bm 
where will you be when they find you, son? 
        G                             A 
And you know they're always following me 
                          D 
I'll be the best when the silence comes.
