INTRO:   A5  B5  A5  G5
                      (two bars each the whole way through the song!)
         A5  B5  A5  G5  A5


VERSE

                            B5
This light at the end of the day
                            A5
When even the highways seem still
                           G5           A5
The map in my hands folded shut


                        B5
There isn't one magical word
                          A5
 But a carnival of them instead
                            G5          A5
 Like an old, silent cinema screen

                                     B5
In this light you are framed classically
                                  A5
 Just a painting that hangs in my head
                                 G5         A5
 That I know like the back of my hand

                                  B5
 And with the sun set, the neon awakes
                                    A5
 And the cold colours dance on your skin
                            G5
 Finally the modern makes sense to me

CHORUS
        A5
You're effortless, you know you are
     B5
 And all I want to do
     A5                            G5
 Is let you lead me off into the dusk
     A5
 Our shadows kiss before we do
  B5
 Right here in the dark
   A5                            G5               A5
 I revel in the calm before the storm


VERSE
                         B5
The garden is haunted by us
                               A5
 And every mistake that we've made
                                G5            A5
 Is at peace coz it led us both here
                                 B5
 The thought that just burns into me
                          A5
 Of you in the ink of the night
                                G5
 Is the breath-taking danger of you

CHORUS
       A5
You're effortless, you know you are
     B5
 And all I want to do

    A5                            G5
 Is let you lead me off into the dusk
     A5
 Our shadows kiss before we do
  B5
 Right here in the dark
   A5                            G5
 I revel in the calm before the storm



        A5
This is life
         B5
 This is all I want from life
          A5                             G5
 It's the fervour and the tenderness combined.
        A5
In the dark,
        B5
in the ever-falling dark,
        A5                            G5
 we are anchorless adrift but barely notice
