The Great Exhale

Intro:  Em D C  Em D C


Em          D     C
Look at the names carved into rocks
Em          D         C
Look at the days when they were lit up
Em          D        C            G
Brushing my head and I feel their rage
Em       D                  C
Years of radiance, years of rain

        G                    D                    C
And the world stops spinning when you stop spinning
G              D             C
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
           Em                D            C   G
I'm coming home so leave the light on for me
    Em               D        C     G
I'm drawing over the luminous veil
Em         D         C           G
When I get in I will see you all there
    Em             D            C G
I'm drawing on the great exhale

Em D C  Em D C

Em        D         C
Uncertain ground so I walk lightly
Em          D             C
Translating names of lost families
Em         D            C              G
Somebodys' sleeping and you should not wake
Em                D          C
Drifting whispers over their grave

        G                    D                    C
And the world stops spinning when you stop spinning
G              D             C
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
           Em                D            C   G
I'm coming home so leave the light on for me
    Em               D        C     G
I'm drawing over the luminous veil
Em         D         C           G
When I get in I will see you all there
    Em             D            C G
I'm drawing on the great exhale
Em    D    C     G
Wide  open spaces
Em   D       C     G
In a sleep a long  time
Em      D       C    G
Come to waiting places
Em   D            C    G
Come tonight like all  dreams

          Em                D            C   G
I'm coming home so leave the light on for me
    Em               D        C     G
I'm drawing over the luminous veil
Em            D         C           G
When I get in I will see you all there
    Em             D         C G
I'm drawing on the great exhale

    Em                D           C G
I'm soaring in on the great exhale
