[Verse 1]
---------------------
C#         E
 The whole place is dark
B C#     E                         B
   Every light on this side of the town
C#       E            B
 Suddenly it all went down
C#            E              B
 Now we'll all be brothers of
C#      E               B
 The fossil fire of the sun
C#           E                B
 Now we will all be sisters of
C#               E           B
 The fossil blood of the moon

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#                     E
 Someone must have set 'em up
B C#              E                        B
   Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock
C#                  E                  B
 Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam
C#              E                      B
 Now they'll be working in the concrete
C#      E                B
 In the sirens and the silences now
C#            E
 All the great set up hearts
B           C# E             B
 All at once   start to beat

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C#            E                          B
 After tonight if you don't want this to be
C#    E                  B
 A secret out of the past
            C#      E                B
I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it
C#               E              B
 I'll streak his blood across my beak
C#       E                 B
 Dust my feathers with his ash
C#              E                      B
 I can feel his ghost breathing down my back

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       C#          E           B
I will try and know whatever I try
          C#  E
I will be gone but not forever
B       C# E                    B
 I will try and know whatever I try
         C#   E               B
I will be gone but not forever

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C#   E                 B
 Real truth about it is
C#  E
 No one gets it right
B C#   E                 B
   Real truth about it is
C#        E               B
 We're all supposed to try
C#                 E
 There ain't no end to the sands
         B
I've been trying to cross
C#       E                 B           C#    E             B
 The real truth about it is my kind of life's no better off
                 C# E               B
It's got the maps   or if it's lost

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
        C# E                     B
We will try and know whatever we try
          C#   E            B
We will be gone but not forever
              C#          E            B
Come on let's try and know whatever we try
           C#  E               B
We will be gone but not forever

[Verse 5]
---------------------
C#   E                 B
 Real truth about it is
C#                 E                  B
 There ain't no end to the desert I'll cross
C#        E                    B
 I've really known it all along
C#              C#m
Mama here comes midnight
         B                    E
With the dead moon in its jaws
C#              C#m                 B
 Must be the big  star about to fall
C#              C#m
Mama here comes midnight
         B                    E
With the dead moon in its jaws
C#              C#m                 B
 Must be the big  star about to fall
