Intro:
F

Verse 1:
                G
    Were we the hammer
                   Am
    Were we the powder
D                                   D
    Were we the cold evening air
F                G
     Were we the wild geese
                Am           Em
    Were we the tall trees
D                                 D
    Were we the shot in the air


Chorus:
F              C               F
    And the background noise
C        Am           Em
    Goes fading now
C      E                F
    No sounds, just the quiver of a lip
D
    Even the moon’s half holding back

Verse 2:
F              G          Am     Em
   Look, we’re falling so easy
D
    Like the rain in the dirty south
F        G                Am     Em
    Justified for the fighting
D
    Were we living in the lion’s mouth?


Chorus:
F              C               F
    And the background noise
C        Am           Em
    Goes fading now
C      E                F
    No sounds, just the quiver of a lip
D                                       D
    Even the moon’s half holding back



Outro:
F   Am   F      C   Am   Em      C   E   F     
D
