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
