Intro:
FF

Verse 1:
        G+G
  Were we the hammer
          A minorAm
  Were we the powder
D MajorD                  D MajorD
  Were we the cold evening air
FF        G+G
   Were we the wild geese
        A minorAm      E minorEm
  Were we the tall trees
D MajorD                 D MajorD
  Were we the shot in the air

Chorus:
FF       C majorC        FF
  And the background noise
C majorC    A minorAm      E minorEm
  Goes fading now
C majorC   E MajorE        FF
  No sounds, just the quiver of a lip
D MajorD
  Even the moon’s half holding back


Verse 2:
FF       G+G     A minorAm   E minorEm
  Look, we’re falling so easy
D MajorD
  Like the rain in the dirty south
FF    G+G        A minorAm   E minorEm
  Justified for the fighting
D MajorD
  Were we living in the lion’s mouth?


Chorus:
FF       C majorC        FF
  And the background noise
C majorC    A minorAm      E minorEm
  Goes fading now
C majorC   E MajorE        FF
  No sounds, just the quiver of a lip
D MajorD                    D MajorD
  Even the moon’s half holding back


Outro:
