[Intro 1]
[F][F][C][C]
[F][F][C][C]
[F][F][C][C]
[F][F][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[F]Smoke it flies from whisky mouths
Vagabonds walk this suit[C]case town
[F]Summer left us beckoning
The cottonwoods were all worn [C]out
[F]Night comes fixing on the day
And the universe [C]reigned again
While the [Am]wheels [G]roll
to find a [F]flickering [Dm]light

[Chorus 1]
[F]While you were [C]sleeping
I was [G]turning the [Dm]dials
And I [F]walled up your [C]kingdom
with [G]radio [Dm]wires
And the [F]bells of the [C]choir
came in [G]low and [Dm]rumbling
Oh, you should have [F]heard them

[Interlude 1]
[F][F][C][C]
[F][F][C][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]Living here in this city on fire
well I've been [C]fine
Just [F]dancing drunk above the street
Me the ghost of Caro[C]line
And that was [F]me, you know, calling up above
From the steeples in the church [C]yard
Watch the [Am]wheels [G]roll
to find an[F]other place [Dm]home

[Chorus 2]
[F]While you were [C]sleeping
you [G]bet that I [Dm]might
[F]Walk this [C]empty [G]northern hem[Dm]i sphere wide
And the [F]kingdom it [C]came,
well, it [G]all fell [Dm]down
It all fell to [F]dust

[Bridge 1]
Watch it all fly [Am]around [F]us[G]
Watch it all fly [Am]around [F]us[G]
[Am][F][G][G]
[Am][F][G][G]
[Am][F][G][G]
[Am][F][G][G]

[Outro 1]
[F]While you were [C]sleeping
I was [G]turning the [Dm]dials
And I [F]walked this [C]empty
[G]northern hem[Dm]i sphere wid[F]e
