Capo 2

C5
Thank you for the invite
   F5               C5
To dance on golden streets
C5
Leave the broken skyline
    F5                C5
And charcoal cloud debris
D5             F5                     C5
I would likely join you if I weren't busy
    D5            F5               C5
But tonight my confession list is long

        G5                   F5                   C5
I will sit back, relax, and hold my head to the sun
G5                    F5                   C5
Sit back, relax, and hold my head to the sun.

C5
We will sing to thunder
F5                 C5
Clap as the earth shakes
C5
Hug under a hurricane
      F5                C5
As we bypass the fiery lake

D5             F5                 C5
I will read my scripture in Dostoevsky
D5            F5                C5
Change my television to twenty three
       G5                   F5                         C5
I will sit back, relax and wait for what's coming to me
G5                   F5                   C5
Sit back, relax and hold my head to the sea.

F5       C5         G5        C5
We will leave our sails on trees
F5     C5              G5      C5
While chariots swing by the breeze
F5        C5       G5      C5
Lift our lamps unto the streets
    F5       C5         G5        D5
May all the kings and soldiers see

              F5        G5                C5
Our lives are lonely enough without destruction
D5                  F5
Calm your cares and families
    G5
And I will hold the morning for you

C5                               F5              C5
Take the time for townships and classics to be read
C5                                   F5                C5
Finding all the soft skin that will fit in a feather bed
D5               F5                   C5
Let me spread my paper and sleep for centuries
    D5                 F5                  C5
The door will be there if you choose to return
       G5                   F5                 C5
I will sit back, relax and watch the mountaintops burn
G5                   F5                       C5
Sit back, relax and wait for my voice to be heard.

F5       C5         G5        C5
We will leave our sails on trees
F5     C5              G5      C5
While chariots swing by the breeze
F5        C5       G5      C5
Lift our lamps unto the streets
    F5       C5         G5        C5
May all the kings and soldiers see

D5                F5        G5                C5
All our lives are lonely enough without destruction
D5                  F5
Calm your cares and families
    G5             C5
And be part of division
D5                F5        G5                C5
All our lives are lonely enough without destruction
D5                  F5
Calm your cares and families
    G5
And I will hold the morning for you
    G5                               C5
And I will hold the morning for you
