Intro C majorC A minorAm FF G+G

Verse
            C majorC               A minorAm
Well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after,
         FF            G+G
and memories of gold on the run, flying around,
          C majorC            A minorAm
was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty,
         FF              G+G
a vision of a mountain you say, so where did it go?

Bridge
    G7G7     A minorAm       FF       G+G
It was light and i held it like a child to be saved
    G7G7          A minorAm       FF
from the fires and from the falling down satellites
      G+G
but still wondering

Chorus
  C majorC        FF        C majorC    A minorAm
"Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain
E minorEm           A minorAm        FF        G+G
though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine,
      C majorC       FF        C majorC     A minorAm
and fallen kids all rising men among their logs, but leavers,
E minorEm    A minorAm        FF           G+G
suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles,
G+G                   C majorC
it's only what these kids will haul around."

C majorC A minorAm FF G+G

Verse
            C majorC               A minorAm
Well there's a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers,
         FF                 G+G
and medicine for balancing things, like seeing your ghosts,
           C majorC             A minorAm
So thank god we're bright, said the lanterns brother,
           FF               G+G
cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see

Bridge
G7G7        A minorAm        FF        G+G
It was day and I stood there once again climbing quick
G7G7           A minorAm         FF        G+G
when I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering
but he said

Chorus
C majorC         FF         C majorC    A minorAm
"Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger
E minorEm       A minorAm       FF         G+G
though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights,
      C majorC         FF         C majorC     A minorAm
I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages,
E minorEm    A minorAm        FF        G+G
always believing there's a canyon for every blind,
G+G                   C majorC
it's only what these kids will haul around."
