A': A - Asus4 - A - Asus2
This is the little chord riff that opens the intro and each verse.
Intro: A' E D A x2
VERSE:
A' E D A
Crumbling worlds hung over me
A' E D A
Waiting along there underneath
A' E D A
Nobody knocks upon the door
A' E D A
Don't even know what we're waiting for
(VERSE)
Forever pulled from the back of beyond
I'm just another come and gone
Follow the sunlight from the sky
Swallowed it all up in the life
CHORUS:
B Bb D
And then the world it seems to quiver and to quake
B Bb D
We twist and turn away but never will escape
(VERSE)
Hide in the trees, the name I know
Watch as the sky begins to glow
Moving across the dusty earth
Waiting for something to occur
(CHORUS)
And then I hold it up, it's there for all to see
All eyes come open, they're returning from the dream
BRIDGE: [I had trouble transcribing this part, but this seems to work okay]
F# Bm
And then the dark descends, dripping from the sky
F# Bm
As it comes pouring in, blackness fills my eyes
(VERSE)
Just when the world was becoming clear
Everything slowly disappeared
Everyone wondered what was said
Lying awake there in their beds
(CHORUS)
And then the world it seems quiver and to quake
We twist and turn away but never will escape
(BRIDGE)
And then the dark descends, dripping from the sky
As it comes pouring in blackness fills my eyes
