Intro:
D  A  G  D


Verse:
D             G
No time to be wayward
D               G
No time to be unwound
D                     G
With darkness at your doorstep
          Bm          A
Keep your feet on the ground

Verse:
              D          G
There will be times of injustice
D                                 G
Times when there’s more lost than found
     D                       G
Down times mixed with days of wonder
      Bm                  A
A real-life spinning merry-go-round


Chorus:
          D
With this back against the wall
         G         Bm
All will soon be revealed
       D                 A
Sirens sound and spirits fall
               G                 D
With just this back against this wall


Solo:
D  G  Bm  D  A  G  D


Verse:
    D                   G
The signs will serve as your guide
          D                  G
Above the water with it held high
        D             G
May you always go the distance
            Bm           A
Through the darkness and the light


Verse:
        D                     G
All the signs say pick up the pieces
        D                         G
All the signs say make a stand as one
        D                   G
What survives the long cold winter
        Bm                    A
Will be stronger and can’t be undone


Chorus:
          D
With this back against the wall
         G         Bm
All will soon be revealed
       D                 A
Sirens sound and spirits fall
               G                 D
With just this back against this wall


Chorus:
          D
With this back against the wall
         G         Bm
All will soon be revealed
       D                 A
Sirens sound and spirits fall
               G                 D
With just this back against this wall


Outro:
D  G  Bm  D  A  G  D
