Day Before We Went To War chords by Dido

Intro:
Dm Dm Dm C  x2

Verse 1:

         Dm
All the pictures on the wall

     C
The sand lying on the floor

             Dm
The bed upstairs, still unmade

     Dm
The dust float in the light

     C
The people just left

      Bm
All laughter and mess

    Am
Forgetting this and that

            Gm     F C
And rushing back

Verse 2:

     Dm
The front door open

     Dm                         Dm
The music still playing in one room

              Dm
Down the hall

      C                  Dm
And towels on the floor

               Dm
And then it's quiet

          Dm
Just the bees and birds

     C
The summer haze

        Bb             Am
Of the trees, and the air

          Gm F          C
Feeds it all, feeds it all

Chorus:

            Dm
We can all feel it

         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back

          Am
Welcoming you

            Dm
We can all feel it

         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back

          Am
Welcoming you

    Gm     F       C
The day before we went to war

     C
The day before we went to war

C           Dm
We can all feel it

Verse 3:

         Dm
All the parasols and kids at play

     C
The sea so still and calm

Dm
Blue as the cloudless sky

C
Just the gentle hum

        Dm
Of the summer's goings on

Dm
Broken by the sudden rush

         Dm
Of two planes

        C
Flying low and fast

         Bb             Am
Into the sun, into the sun

Chorus:

            Dm
We can all feel it

         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back

          Am
Welcoming you

            Dm
We can all feel it

         C                 Bb
Like a light hand on your back

          Am
Welcoming you

    Gm     F       C
The day before we went to war

     C
The day before we went to war

C           Dm
We can all feel it
