♫ Intro: 

Am  Em F G G#      (x2)

     Am
It's not so much a storm
           Em
but just a cloud that lives inside of me
   Dm                              Gm
he doesn't disturb so easily these days
            G#                 Am
but when he wakes he goes the distance.
                 Em
in a marathon it takes too long
                Dm
open containers that sing songs
                    Gm
you'll never dream again
            G#
but you can pray

♫ Bridge: 
           Am         G             F
i guess we all settle in to what we know
          Am            G      F
i guess we always settle in, we know.

♫ Chorus: 
              Am          C
That there is comfort in a world
      F             G               Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
            C               F
and cold is all we have to breathe
      Am                  C
where expectations keep us company
         F                  G
with the light we take to the outside
        Am                       C            F
will it die? i somehow hide of out of our control.
         Am
(we lost control).



♫ Verse :
Am
it's not about the sky
        Em
or the clouds that walk all over me
      Dm                            Gm
they don't give up too easily these days
              G#               A
but when they break they go to pieces.
                         Em
for a pond blood here in north set barns
                 Dm
under a sky that knows no stars
                   G
you'll never shine again
             G#
but you will stay.

♫ Bridge: 
          Am         G             F
i guess we all settle in to what we know
           Am            G      F
i guess we always settle in, we know.

♫ Chorus: 
              Am          C
That there is comfort in a world
      F             G               Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
            C               F
and cold is all we have to breathe
      Am                  C
where expectations keep us company
         F                  G
with the light we take to the outside
        Am                       C            F
will it die? i somehow hide of out of our control.

♫ Instrumental:

♫ Chorus: 
              Am          C
That there is comfort in a world
      F             G               Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
            C               F
and cold is all we have to breathe
      Am                  C
where expectations keep us company
         F                  G
with the light we take to the outside
        Am                       C            F
will it die? i somehow hide of out of our control.
