[Verse 1]
A C G
The whole place is dark
A C G
Every light on this side of the town
A C G
Suddenly it all went down
A C G
Now we'll all be brothers of
A C G
The fossil fire of the sun
A C G
Now we will all be sisters of
A C G
The fossil blood of the moon
[Verse 2]
A C G
Someone must have set 'em up
A C G
Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock
A C G
Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam
A C G
Now they'll be working in the concrete
A C G
In the sirens and the silences now
A C G
All the great set up hearts
A C G
All at once start to beat
A C G G

[Verse 3]
A C G
After tonight if you don't want this to be
A C G
A secret out of the past
A C G
I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it
A C G
I'll streak his blood across my beak
A C G
Dust my feathers with his ash
A C G
Feel his ghost breathing down my back
[Chorus]
Am C G
I will try and know whatever I try
A Am G
I will be gone but not forever
Am C G
I will try and know whatever I try
A Am G
I will be gone but not forever
[Verse 4]
A Am G
Real truth about it is
A Am G
No one gets it right
A Am G
Real truth about it is
A Am G
We're all supposed to try
A Am G
There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross
A Am G
The real truth about it is
A Am G
My kind of life's no better off
A Am G
If it's got the map or if it's lost
[Chorus]
Am C G
We will try and know whatever we try
A Am G
We will be gone but not forever
Am C G
Come on, lets try and know whatever we try
A Am G
We will be gone but not forever
[Verse 5]
A Am G
Real truth about it is
A Am G
There ain't no end to the desert I'll cross
A Am G
I've really known it all along
A Am G C
Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws
A Am G
Must be the big star about to fall
A Am G C
Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws
A Am G
Must be the big star about to fall
