Gentle Morning Song chords by Diagrams

Intro:

B   Gm   A   Dm
B   Gm   A   Dm


verse 1:

B             Gm
The patter of breaking glass
A            Dm                B
invades like gentle rain and a dog
                   Gm
barks somewhere in Gleadless
         A                    Dm
i'm in a safe yet frightening dream again
        B           Gm
and the night is an endless place
       A               Dm
but it ends so sweetly at your face
     B              Gm
this bed is made of energy
         A                Dm
it's the strangest kingdom where we sleep

pre-chorus 1:

B               C           Dm    B
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
         Dm           C
not like when we were young
B               C             Dm          A
the kids are asleep while the kids in the park
A
are happy burning cars


chorus 1:

B                     Gm
and i hear the gentle morning song
       A                     Dm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
B                Gm
like a litany recited for me
       A           Dm
in the dark aisles of our street

B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu


verse 2:

B             Gm                 A
the patter of tiny feet could it be
            Dm                      B
the final straw we've thrown on the back
                Gm
of the camel of our youth
            A                   Dm
long in the teeth, will i still long for you
        B
because life is an endless place
      C                  Dm
or at least it sometimes seems that way
        B               C
will we die wearing perplexed faces
 Dm                 B
books of words still left to say


pre-chorus 2:

B               C           Dm    B
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
         Dm           C
not like when we were young
B               C           Dm          A
the world isn't waiting for us but it whispers softly through the door


chorus 2:

B                     Gm
i hear the gentle morning song
       A                Dm
like a quiet reflection of my soul
  B                        Gm
i sang that song back when i was young
        B                      Gm
and the virgin earth stretched on and on

B                     Gm
and i hear the gentle morning song
       A                     Dm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
       B         Gm
like a litany recited for me
       A           Dm
in the dark church of our street

B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
Uuuh uuuh  uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
B    Gm    Dm          A
