Intro: 
D5  D5  D5  D5 (x2) 
Verse 1: 
    D5       D5                    D5            D5 
A bus station, in the steam from the rain 
      B5          A5        G5                       D5   D5 
In this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay? 
                    D5    D5                  D5          D5 
The whole field of vision, fades beneath me now 
         B5          A5              G5            
And the houses spread for a million miles, 
               D5   D5 
in this gray town 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
          B5        B5           G5              A5 
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand 
           B5        B5           G5              A5 
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance 
           B5  B5  A5 
Would you fall to pieces 
           B5  B5  D5 
Would you fall to pieces 
           B5  B5  A5 
Would you fall to pieces 
               D5        D5 
In the high countries?  

Verse 2: 
            D5      D5               D5     D5 
We are just pilgrims of the great divorce 
     B5             A5               G5                        D5 
I am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorse 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
        B5        B5           G5              A5 
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand 
        B5        B5           G5              A5 
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance 
 
(Chorus)  
 
Bridge: 
              A5          B5             G5             D5 
You drink the cup to the bottom , but it burns in your hands 
    A5              B5         G5        A5 
The cup was poured out on the Maker instead 
 
Verse 3: 
           D5          D5            D5     D5 
Out on the green plains, I am but a ghost 
     B5       A5                G5                          D5   D5 
Bound up with all that I call mine; still the light grows 
 
(Chorus 2x)
