[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D][G][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
I have [D]failed you,
I have [A]failed you,
I [G]have lost my way,
lost my nerve [D]and failed you,
But I love you, how [A]I love you,
I [G]have turned my back,
left you last, but I [D]love you.

[Verse 2]
Oh, set[Bm]ting sun,
don't [A]sink before I've [G]found my heart;
[Bm]Heart, don't give [A]up now
while there's [G]still time;
[Bm]Time, don't beat your old [A]retreat,
[E]Stay a little while with me,
[G]'til I've looked the whole thing [D]in the eye.

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Bm][G]

[Verse 3]
I have [D]waited, I have [A]waited
For [G]the big reveal,
the even keel, I've [D]waited,
But there's no one who
makes it all [A]come true,
Just [G]altars gathering dust
while we bow [D]to them.

[Verse 4]
Oh, [Bm]night, bring all your [A]shadows
and [G]your si[Bm]lence;
Silence, make a [A]hostage [G]of my mind;

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Mind, bring on [A]your [E]trickery;
Black dogs, nip on at my heels,
[G]'til I've looked the whole thing [D]in the eye.

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][Bm][G]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Swing low,
[A]sai[G]l h[Bm]igh,[A][G]
[Bm]Swing low,
[A]sai[E]l h[G]igh.[D][G]
[Bm][G]

[Verse 7]
I have [D]failed you, I have [A]failed you,
I have [G]closed my heart, I have [D]failed you,
But I love you, [A]how I love you,
[G]All my days were rearranged
to say I [D]love you.

[Verse 8]
Oh, set[Bm]ting sun,
don't [A]weep for all the [G]things you lose,
[Bm]Morning comes [A]as sure as it must [G]die.
Dy[Bm]ing is such [A]mystery,
Yet [E]I wonder will it be,
[G]when I've looked the[A] whole thing in [D]the eye?[G]

[Verse 9]
Swing low, sail [Bm]high,[G]
Swing [D]low, [G]sai[Bm]l hig[G]h.

[Outro 1]
[D][G][Bm][G][D][G][Bm]
