Verse

C5              C5
What we put before
    A5           C5
The love and the rain
        A5      G5  F5
and the wide open plain

What we choose to take
What will remain
on the wide open plain

From the skies on high
Nothing has changed
stars appearing out again

In a wave of wind
Flood of rain
We are washed grain by grain

F5 G5 F5 C5

Chorus
F5                             A5     F5
You will not hide inside the shadows
G5                      F5     G5
When the day begins again
F5                               A5
You won't be watching from you windows
       F5         G5
in the wide open plain

break

Verse

Oh they come to me
One by one
in the little time remains

I felt the sting of
deeds I'd done
by which i'd hoped to gain

The melody of
the songs unsung are
drawn out slow with pain

and swelled beyond
horizon lines
on the wide open plain

chorus
you will not see me up and running
for there are no heights to gain
and we will surely see it coming
in the wide open plain

break

verse

we stand once more on
the golden shores
a still and stony train

The sea of glass
the sea that roars
where all their spoils are drained

We'll now and ever
deeply lie
anchoring our chains

and divide us endless
depthless from
the wide open plain


chorus
I wake up trembling in the morning
to a cold and soundless rain
i know beneath these streets aborning
is a wide open plain
