It is really late and I am bored. I was playing this song and figuring it out
when I got lazy and looked on here for the tab. There was only the intro/verse
which I already had figured out so I decided I might as well post it up here as I
figure it out. So here it is. I'm pretty sure it is 100% accurate. Goodnight. My
eyes are falling shut.

Conor continues to play this through the verse, but for easy reading I will just
have the lyrics and chords. He finger picks most of the song except in the chorus
when he hits the E he strums.
A Bm
Last Saturday I stood in your entry way
F#m
That place where we used to wait
E
For cars to carry us away
A Bm
Like once in this storm, they drove me and Justin home
F#m
The music was just being born
E
It was all I was longing for
A
Now I?m on a plane
Bm F#m
Off singing my songs again, oh please don?t think ill of it
E
Cause it?s the reason I exists
A
But you, you?re the crutch of a cripple, You're the calm of a conscience
Bm
You're the peace that I have found
F#m E
When all these voices talk too loud you are quietly reassuring me
A
With the hands of a healer and the tongue of a teacher
Bm
It?s your voice that I have known
F#m E
To be the first one on the phone. Yeah, you ran all the lights to the hospital
A Ab
C#m F#
So don't you say to me
That life's a trap
B
The future is nothing but a tragedy
E
'Cause I'll be out of that window
F#m
Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again
C#m
Just say we're not walking backwards, kid
B
And show me to the door
E
And I'll walk behind
F#m
Out into the hot sunlight
C#m
Where the world's very much alive
Ab A E
Even when I close my eyes
Intro 1x
A
Well, should I admit
Bm
That my promise is counterfeit
F#m
That I'm careless and childish
E
And that's all I can hope to be
A
And would you concede
Bm
That I think only of myself
F#m
I refuse everybody's help
E
Who has been reaching out for me
A
Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor and the swing of a miner
Bm
You have cleared the rock away
F#m
Leaving gold there in its place
E
And it is more than anyone could claim
A
Oh, with the sense of a banker and with the touch of a tailor
Bm
You saved this life for me
F#m
And you have sown it to beauty
E
And I am grateful now and I will always be
A Ab
C#m F#
So would you sing with me
The song is all I know
B
Some truths are told now only in a melody
E
So I've been writing a new one
F#m
Yeah, I've been taking my time with it
C#m
It's gonna be so perfect
B
It's gonna hold all of us inside of it
E
You will see
F#m
If you just add your harmony
C#m
I think it would be complete
Ab A E
And be worthy of singing
Ab A E
Becomes a symphony
A
Yeah, you're the cool of the water, you're the start of the summer
Bm
Keep me still like an anchor. In a storm you're the cellar
F#m
When I'm heavy with worry make me light as a feather
E
When I'm deafened by anger you're the song I remember
A
With the grace of a dancer and the strength of a pillar
Bm
When I'm starving to suffer you just fill me with laughter
F#m
You're a poet and a saint
E
You are the only one I choose to imitate
A
Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera
Bm
It's this picture I have seen
F#m
We're on a sloping hill of green
E (intro 1x then end on A )
And you are walking there beside me
