[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Dm][F][Dm][F][C][Dm][F][C][Dm][C][Dm]
[F][C][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]The [F]empty [C]page[Dm]s testify
[A]Of [C]nig[Dm]hts of hollow[F]ly
[Dm]suspense[C][Dm]
[F]We [Dm]wandered down
[A]these tre[Dm]e -lined streets
Down uncertain [A]avenues[C][Dm]
Where we all want the same thing
[C]What [Dm]would you do with it?
Out[G]side there's darkness,
[F]out[G]side is the light
[F]Out[G]side stands [F]between
[Dm]us[C][Dm]
Break[C]ing [Dm]boxes of no comfort here
[C]And you're [Dm]only made
of cedar wood
Surprise me with [Am]some [Dm]hon esty
Surprise me with some independence
[G]Outside there is darkness
[F]Out[G]side is the light
[F]Out[G]side stands [F]between [C]us

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][C][Dm][C][Dm]
[C][Dm]
[C][Dm]
[C][Dm][C]
[Dm][C][Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
With the [Dm]palaces out[C]side
[Dm]my windo[Asus4]w
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
You [A]can [Dm]paint them grey
outside my win[A]dow[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
Sleep always [C]comes [Dm]so hard
to a [Am]weary [Dm]man
[F]Who [Dm]spends his days
trying to understand
Better keep your head
close to the ground
Inside the longest century
Does the silence make you nervous now?
Does the silence make you nervous now?
[G]Outside there is darkness,
[F]out[G]side is the light[F]
[G]Outside stands [F]between [Dm]us
Stands between us

[Verse 5]
There stands between us
[Dm]
But the yellow moon has set in
Where the white skies are
bound up in fifteen miles
Under the years of darkness
The [Dm]feet sink and the soul [Dm]flies[Dm][Dm]
[Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm]

[Outro 1]
