Intro E MajorE C#m7C#m7 BsusBsus E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE  C#m7C#m7 BsusBsus  E MajorE A augmentedA

E MajorE                       A augmentedA         E MajorE
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
C#m7C#m7     BsusBsus        E MajorE      A augmentedA
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
E MajorE                        A augmentedA          E MajorE
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
      C#m7C#m7       BsusBsus     E MajorE          A augmentedA
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
     E MajorE                      A augmentedA          E MajorE
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
    C#m7C#m7      BsusBsus     E MajorE           A augmentedA
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
   E MajorE                        A augmentedA        E MajorE
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praises
   C#m7C#m7      BsusBsus     E MajorE         A augmentedA
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid

      BB                 C#m7C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
     A augmentedA          BB                   C#m7C#m7    A augmentedA
Their doors for the ten thousand standing on nineveh's shores
         E MajorE
Where the blood of a husband
A augmentedA       E MajorE         A augmentedA     BB      E MajorE
Silences wars for the girl who rises to meet him

            A augmentedA                  C#m7C#m7
And she sings world i've overcome you world i've overcome you
BsusBsus                   A augmentedA                  BsusBsus
World i've overcome by my song and the blood of a son

   E MajorE                  A augmentedA         E MajorE
But ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
         C#m7C#m7   BsusBsus         E MajorE     A augmentedA
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
   E MajorE                A augmentedA      E MajorE
For sinew to cling to for wind to remain
  C#m7C#m7       BsusBsus    E MajorE          A augmentedA
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
   E MajorE                  A augmentedA         E MajorE
I'm breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
         C#m7C#m7     BsusBsus         E MajorE       A augmentedA
Where the cynical have lain where the cynical go down
        E MajorE              A augmentedA       E MajorE
Save the gravity time of lets go of her drowned
       C#m7C#m7    BsusBsus      E MajorE          A augmentedA
Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound

       BB                 C#m7C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
     A augmentedA          BB                   C#m7C#m7    A augmentedA
Their doors for the ten thousand standing on nineveh's shores
         E MajorE
Where the blood of a husband
A augmentedA       E MajorE         A augmentedA     BB      E MajorE
Silences wars for the girl who rises to meet him

                 A augmentedA                  C#m7C#m7
And she sings world i've overcome you world i've overcome you
BsusBsus                   A augmentedA                  BsusBsus
World i've overcome by my song and the blood of a son
