[Intro]
| Am | Fmaj7/A | C | Em |
| Am | Fmaj7/A | C | Em |
[Verse 1]
Am Fmaj7/A
Last night I dreamed of icy cliffs, standing on the precipice
C Em
I leaned to see just where the edge would take me
Am Fmaj7/A
The wind came up, I closed my eyes, I heard a shout and to my surprise
C Em
a hand reached out and pulled me back to safety.
[Chorus 1]
F** G** Em** Am**
What's a hand, what's a dream? Who can say what it means?
Fmaj7 C
When everything that you know can disappear.
F** G** Esus4* E* Am**
Don't look back, the spirits cry, just be glad to be alive.
Fmaj7 C
Everything that you love is right here,
Fmaj7
everything that you love.
[Interlude]
| Am | Fmaj7/A | C | Em |
[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7/A
Life feels smaller than this stone, worn smooth inside my palm,
C Em
I keep it like a charm inside my pocket.
Am Fmaj7/A
I keep thinking I'll flame out, leave no one with a doubt,
C Em
that I was meant to fire like a rocket.
[Chorus 2]
F** G** Em** Am**
What's a stone, what's a flame, there's always someone else to blame,
Fmaj7 C
when everything that you know disappears?
F** G** Esus4* E* Am**
Don't look back the spirits cry, just be glad to be alive,
Fmaj7 C
everything that you need is right here,
Fmaj7 Am
everything that you need.
[Interlude]
| F G | Em Am | F | C |
| F G | Esus4 E Am | Am |
| Fmaj7/A | C | Fmaj7/A |
[Verse 3]
Am Fmaj7/A
When I'm left here on the shore the ancient basalt moor
C Em
will beckon me to sleep among its heather.
Am Fmaj7/A
Who's not tempted to fold in, so that sleep may come again,
C Em
where the fire and the ice hide their treasure.
[Outro]
| F G | Em Am | F G | Em Am |
| F G | Esus4 E Am | Fmaj7/A | C |
Fmaj7 C
Everything that you love.
Fmaj7 C
Everything that you need.
