Verse 1:
Em    G     
  The car crunches gravel
D         A
  And the wind licks at you
Em     G
  This dark spell you're under
D         A
  Has you dumbstruck by the gate

Verse 2:
Em       G
  And it hurts every muscle
D         A  
  Just to walk back to the house
Em         G
  Now this home that you both made
D          A
  It looks haunted from the yard

Chorus:
        G                  D
You can hear those distant bells
        A                  Em
And you know they'll never leave
               G                D
It's like your church is crying out
         A                 Em
Like the wolf calls to her young

Verse 3:
          G
  And the dark never enters
D        A
  But it also never leaves
Em         G
  And this spark that he gave you
D            A
  Is just an ember all but out

Verse 4:
Em        G
  If he'd one eye on the exit
D        A
  Oh you never would have known
Em         G
  Until he drove off in the darkness
D           A
  Like some slowly fading song

Chorus:
        G                  D
You can hear those distant bells
        A                  Em
And you know they'll never leave
               G                D
It's like your church is crying out
         A                 Em
Like the wolf calls to her young

        G                  D
You can hear those distant bells
        A                  Em
And you know they'll never leave
               G                D
It's like your church is crying out
         A                 Em
Like the wolf calls to her young
