Earth to Calm Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[Daug][D][Daug]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]This
velvet-lined silver silver box
Rests with me around [Daug]the clock
[D]Through colored glass,
a piercing dawn
Through broken glass I
watch the night fall

[Verse 2]
[D]Conflict looms in a blood-red sky
sky
A child cries seeking mother[Daug]'s eyes
[D]Just a fleeting sound of silence plays
The day must end praying on
[Daug]your kne[D]es

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Tired of waiting for the earth to calm
We [D]huddle together and [G]pray
for [D]no harm
[G]The flickering light signals the alarm
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[D]Oh, ple[G]ase don't let it be me[D][G]
[D]Oh, ple[G]ase don't let it be me

[Interlude 2]
[D][Daug]
[D][C][D][Bbaug][D][Daug][D][Daug][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Trying hard to stay awake
I'm running fast,
trying to make the last gate
But lo and behold here I stand
Out of time with my [Daug]head
[D]in my hands

[Verse 6]
[D]
The sweat runs down my desperate face
I'm stumbling on my old rotten [Daug]legs
[D]The heavy winds build
strong their walls
Push me back, no [Daug]joy at all,[D] at all

[Interlude 3]
[D]

[Verse 7]
[G]Tired of waiting for the earth to calm
We [D]huddle together and [G]pray for [D]no harm
The [G]flickering light signals the alarm
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]
[D]Oh, ple[G]ase don't let it be me[D][G]
[D]Oh, ple[G]ase don't let it be

[Outro 1]
