Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Difficulty: Novice Verse 1:A minorAm I see you in windows
A minorAm That open so wide

A minorAm And shake out your hair

A minorAm And sand on your feet
G MajorG The river too shallow
A minorAm The ocean too deep

A minorAm The sweetest reprieve
G MajorG Why did you leave us?

A minorAm It’s torn in the highest
A minorAm From kingdom to crown
G MajorG The messages fly
A minorAm But the network is down Verse 8:

A minorAm The spirals reverse
G MajorG And Eve must re-enter
A minorAm The sleep of her birth {Chorus]
C majorC And up through the system
C majorC The worlds are withdrawn

A minorAm And now that it’s done
FF The name has no number
FF Fmaj7b5

A minorAm Come gather the pieces
A minorAm All scattered and lost

A minorAm But now it’s a field Outro:
