Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm[C] st[D]and[C]ing[G] at [D]the door[G]
cry[D]ing let me in
[G]I s[D]ee her dancing there in all
her [G]wonder[Dsus4][G]
[C]How her body moves,
[D]with eternal [G]you[D]th[C]
and her [Em]footsteps hammer
[G]on like rolling thunder
[C]

[Verse 2]
While I'm [D]stuck here in [G]the shadows
[D]fueling the[G] dream
[D]Another face just flashing
in the [G]night
[C]The smoke it folds [D]around me
[G]like [C]unenchanted wings
as I [Em]listen to [G]the nightbirds
singing [C]in their flight

[Verse 3]
[C]Oh [D]clo[G]se this gre[C]at divide
[Em]between [G]my heart and mind
[C]

[Verse 4]
Once she [D]held me in my [G]anguish
[D]Pulled me from my pai[G]n
[D]and sheltered me from life's
[G]mysteries[D][Dsus4]
[D]Somewhe[C]re beyond the[D] darkness
lies in[G]cred[D]ible [C]light
At [Em]least that's what she
[G]once made me believe
[C]

[Verse 5]
So go di[D]ve in empty [G]spaces
where ma[D]gic weaves and [G]spins
Go [D]find her there,
it's where she set me [G]free
[C]Now I'm pulling [D]chains from every
[G]corner of her [C]memory
Go [Em]find her there and
[G]bring her back [D]to me
[C]

[Verse 6]
[D]Oh [G]close this [C]great divide
[Em]Between [G]my heart
[C]and mind

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][C]

[Verse 7]
Just listen [C]to [G]the nightbirds
[Bm]List[C]en to the nightbirds[Bm][C]
Listen [Bm]to th[C]e nightbirds,
Listen to [Bm]the nightbirds

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][C][Bm][C][Bm]
[G][Bm][C][Bm][C]
[Bm][C][D][C][D][C]
[D]Well if I could

[Verse 8]
turn [G]my back now
[D]and lay back down with you
[G]I'd [D]pull you in and finally
get some [G]sleep
[C]Listening to [D]the nightbirds
[G]without [C]wondering how
[Em]they hold her in their [G]song so [C]casually
