Intro: F#m C#m
F#m C#m
Later that day we made our way to the old cathedral door
A flame, a figure, a shadow
Walked away towards the tower alone
F#m
We must be close nearby
Hope cannot find our own way
C#m
Through dark, it's cold, I'm told it's gray
A
There's a light that never grows dim
B F#m A
But if all can be made right there's still a chance on New Years' Day
B F#m A
And if Grace were here I would love to see her face somehow, someway
B F#m
And if all is well that means there's still a chance in hell
A B F#m
You are safe here, safe here in these arms of mine
A B F#m
There is shelter, shelter from the mire of life
A B F#m
Claiming sanctuary from the fire that drove you in
A B F#m
You are safe here, safe here in these arms of mine
F#m
Climbing the stairs towards heaven
C#m
Making our own way into the room
Empty, barren
Not another soul in sight
F#m
Then when the moon came crawling
C#m
There in the night, a great divide
A whisper, a motion, a calling
We're the 99 all right
A B F#m A
But if all can be made right there's still a chance on New Years' Day
B F#m A
And if Grace were here I would love to see her face somehow, someway
B F#m
And if all is well that means there's still a chance in hell
A B F#m
You are safe here, safe here in these arms of mine
A B F#m
There is shelter, shelter from the mire of life
A B F#m
Claiming sanctuary from the fire that drove you in
A B F#m
You are safe here, safe here in these arms of mine
F#m
Now a tradition said
C#m
Buying penance did a wrong and right
A great collapse
Great collapse
A B F#m
You are safe here, safe here in these arms of mine
A B F#m
There is shelter, shelter from the mire of life
A B F#m
Claiming sanctuary from the fire that drove you in
A B F#m
You are safe here, safe here in these arms of mine
