Song Of Unrest chords by City And Colour

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Am G C D6 D

Verse 1:
Am                 G
  Have I lost my touch?
   C                 D6 D
I want to feel less fear
Am                          G
  Where is the stirring of hope
C                D6 D
Once I held so near?
Am               G
  This mournful wail
     C             D6 D
Has worn away so thin
Am                        G
  Life is long if you're living it
        C                        D6 D
But dread will blow in like the wind

Chorus:
G
How can I explain
            Cadd9
So that you will understand
   G
How foolish it must be
     Cadd9
To opine so openly?
G
 Such a delicate life
    Cadd9
So full of tragedy
G
 Why do we continue to treat
      Cadd9
Each other so savagely?

Instrumental:
Am  G  C  D6 D    x2

Verse 2:
Am                     G
  Pills don't seem to work
         C                       D6 D
We're lost at the bottom of the sea
Am                             G
  Our bones are searching for something else
 C                            D6 D
Tired of the flesh that they see
Am          G           C              D6 D
  I never thought that I'd grow up to be
Am                      G
  Another face in the crowd
         C               D6 D
On the wrong side of history

Chorus:
G
How can I explain
            Cadd9
So that you will understand
   G
How foolish it must be
     Cadd9
To opine so openly?
G
 Such a delicate life
    Cadd9
So full of tragedy
G
 Why do we continue to treat
      Cadd9
Each other so savagely?

Outro:
     Am  G  C  D6 D
Oh, oh...
     Am  G  C  D6 D
Oh, oh...
