Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: G C Em C Verse 1: G C An old bearded oak of a man in the street yells "A storm is coming soon" Em C The weather man says it will never rain again G By their own respective philosophies, one of them's just a body C Reading teleprompts in two-piece suits Em C Am One of them is too strange and splendid for any to comprehend
Chorus: G I feel something's coming for me C Em C Is this death or glory that hangs like lightning in the air? G It's been years of barren skies C Em C But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare Verse 2: G Out there at the edge of town, where the wind whips up C Whispering my name Em C I walk the streets of this withered and wicked land G My shadow darkens the door of a place I ain't been before C But I shamble off in shame Em C Am Throwing rocks at the rooks with these brittle and broken hands Chorus: G I feel something's coming for me C Em C Is this death or glory that hangs like lightning in the air? G It's been years of barren skies C Em C D But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare Bridge: Am C I swear I feel the rain in my bones, and I Em D Imagine thunder shattering stones, playing "Crack the Sky" Am I was scared I might be lost in the flood but now C Em D I see more than that, I'm just longing for love in this land so dry Verse 3: G In the dark of the night I woke with a start, and I C Stared across the room Em C But all I saw was this dream burned across my brain G From here to the ocean there was a field of roses, and I C Watched them burst and bloom G I saw them wither and fade but revive C When they felt the rain start to fall Chorus: G I feel something's coming for me C Em C Is this death or glory that hangs like lightning in the air? G It's been years of barren skies C Em C G But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare
