Foals
Mountain At My Gates
[Verse]
Dm C Bb C
I see a mountain at my gates
Dm C Bb Gm
I see it more and more each day
Dm C Bb C
What I give it takes away
Dm C Bb Gm
Whether I go or whether I stay
Dm C Bb C
I see a mountain at my gates
Dm C Bb Gm
I see it more and more each day
Dm C Bb C
I see a fire down by the lake
Dm C Bb Gm
I drive my car without the brakes
Dm C Bb C
I see a mountain in my way
Dm C Bb Gm
It’s looming larger by the day
Dm C Bb C
I see a darkness in my faith
Dm C Bb G
I drive my car without the brakes
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
Oh give me some time
C G
Show me the foothold from which I can climb
Bb Dm
Yeah when I feel low
C G
You show me a signpost for where I should go
[Verse]
Dm C Bb C
I see a mountain at my gates
Dm C Bb Gm
I see it more and more each day
Dm C Bb C
And my desire wears a dark dress
Dm C Bb Gm
But each day I see you less
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
Oh give me some time
C G
Show me the foothold from which I can climb
Bb Dm
Yeah when I feel low
C G
You show me a signpost for where I should go
[Bridge]
Dm C Bb C
Through lanes and stone rows black granite wind blows
Dm C Bb Gm
Fire lake and far flame Go now but come again
Dm C Bb C
Dark clouds gather round Will I run or stand my ground
Dm C Bb Gm
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
Oh when I come to climb
C G
Show me the mountain so far behind
Bb Dm
Where it’s further away
C G
Its shadow gets smaller day after day
[Instrumental]
Bb Dm C G
[Outro]
Bb Dm
Yeah give me my love
C
give me my love
G
give me my choice to keep me coming around
Bb Dm
Gimme my fate
C
My lungs
G
My voice you keep me coming around
Bb Dm
Gimme my fate
C
My lungs
G Bb
And my voice you keep me coming around
