Verse 1:
E5    G5     
  The car crunches gravel
D5         A5
  And the wind licks at you
E5     G5
  This dark spell you're under
D5         A5
  Has you dumbstruck by the gate

Verse 2:
E5       G5
  And it hurts every muscle
D5         A5  
  Just to walk back to the house
E5         G5
  Now this home that you both made
D5          A5
  It looks haunted from the yard

Chorus:
        G5                  D5
You can hear those distant bells
        A5                  E5
And you know they'll never leave
               G5                D5
It's like your church is crying out
         A5                 E5
Like the wolf calls to her young

Verse 3:
          G5
  And the dark never enters
D5        A5
  But it also never leaves
E5         G5
  And this spark that he gave you
D5            A5
  Is just an ember all but out

Verse 4:
E5        G5
  If he'd one eye on the exit
D5        A5
  Oh you never would have known
E5         G5
  Until he drove off in the darkness
D5           A5
  Like some slowly fading song

Chorus:
        G5                  D5
You can hear those distant bells
        A5                  E5
And you know they'll never leave
               G5                D5
It's like your church is crying out
         A5                 E5
Like the wolf calls to her young

        G5                  D5
You can hear those distant bells
        A5                  E5
And you know they'll never leave
               G5                D5
It's like your church is crying out
         A5                 E5
Like the wolf calls to her young
