Between The Daylight And The Dark chords by Mary Gauthier

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:

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




          E
You stare out of the windshield, out into the world
       G#m
It was all for the love of a wayward girl
    A                                               B
Who left you with a second place smile and a broken heart
        A
And the streetlights are starting to flicker to life
     G#m
They glow for a minute then they get bright
A                              B
Fireflies light up, circle and spark
E

There's nothing really that you can do
         G#m
Put your hands in your pockets, try to get through
    A                    B                E
The distance between the daylight and the dark

Solo:

E  G#m  A  E  B

Verse 2:

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

Outro:

E  G#m  A  E  B  E
