Tuning: EADGBE Verse 1: Am D And being outside your wisdom G Em And stretching the truth Am D I was the oil and lavender G Em But never for you Am D You had to toil and sit in G Em The sun browned your skin Am D It burned all the alabaster G Em Till the ask choked the wind Chorus 1: Am D They say it's the longest light G Em To ever have shown Am D They say it's the longest lie G Em And that nobody knows Am D They say it's the longest lie G Em And I still taste the smoke
Verse 2: Am D Now only ungrateful remember (?) G Em To sleep in the stone Am D With all of your grace and thunder G Em The roll and the boom Am D I was the cloak and dagger G Em That snuck into you Am D And we have but one (left? /life?) finger G Em That's pointing at us Chorus 2: Am D And that would be the longest night G Em That chilled ___ to bone Am D That would be the longest night G Em To sleep here alone Am D That would be the longest night G G/F# Em
