Between The Daylight And The Dark chords by Mary Gauthier

Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:

E MajorE
Well, the grasses are swaying, sun's going down
G# minorG#m
Music is playing, you're weaving through town
   A augmentedA               E MajorE
Pull into the drive way, toss it in park



     E MajorE
You stare out of the windshield, out into the world
    G# minorG#m
It was all for the love of a wayward girl
  A augmentedA                        BB
Who left you with a second place smile and a broken heart
    A augmentedA
And the streetlights are starting to flicker to life
   G# minorG#m
They glow for a minute then they get bright
A augmentedA               BB
Fireflies light up, circle and spark
E MajorE
There's nothing really that you can do
     G# minorG#m
Put your hands in your pockets, try to get through
  A augmentedA          BB        E MajorE
The distance between the daylight and the dark

Solo:

E MajorE G# minorG#m A augmentedA E MajorE BB

Verse 2:

    E MajorE
And the front porch flags lie themselves down
   G# minorG#m
Like forgotten soldiers and old wedding gowns
  A augmentedA                    E MajorE
In closets unopened and graves without any marks
    E MajorE
As the night curtains lower behind the rooftops
G# minorG#m
Shadows dance across the sidewalks
  A augmentedA                     BB
And ricochet off of the houses like pieces of art
     A augmentedA
And your mind is reeling as the sky is changing
G# minorG#m
All you're feeling and you're re-arranging
  A augmentedA                       BB
The rest of your life like lines on an old sailors chart
E MajorE
You climb back in, fire the ignition
     G# minorG#m
Put your hands on the wheel, head into the distance
  A augmentedA          BB        E MajorE
The distance between the daylight and the dark
