🎸 Intro:

B A#m G# F#m D#m
B A#m G# F#m D#m
Em


🎸 Verse 1:
Em
 I didn't think that this could be
Em
 All that unto death do we
     Em
'Til you managed the lock and magicked the key
    Em
After a night of hard drinking and ecstasy

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   F             Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
F             Em
Blackened on paper that's shredded and torn
  F            Am
Or carved into stones lying shattered and broken
Bm7b5        E7
 Branches beckoned along the wrong path
Bm7b5          E+
 Winding up in the past


🎸 Chorus:
Em
 And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
 This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
   F             Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
  F           Em
Or painted as slogans and flung to the lions
F            Am
Written on slips as the punters wait smoking
Bm7b5         E7
 A leap of faith, the odds sky-high
   Bm7b5            E+
Said goodbye to your place or mine


🎸 Bridge:
Fm          Cm      Dbmaj7    Cm
 Don't like to make promises that I can't keep
Fm          Cm        Dbmaj7  Cm
 Don't want to hurt this old heart or wreck my sleep
         Fm
Thinking how will we part?
   Cm         Dbmaj7       Cm
Will I hold your hand or you be left holding mine?
       B        A#m G# D#m
Between this breath and then
            B  A#m G# D#m
There's this airlock of time
       F#m  B
This airlock of time


🎸 Chorus:
Em
 And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
 This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
   F             Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
    F              Em
In the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned
 F              Am
Engraved on gold rings or some other love token
  Bm7b5       E7    Bm7b5          E+
No walls, no bells to sanctify this dark and velvet night
