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

Welcoming you

The day before we went to war

We can all feel it
