Intro: G Em Am D7
Em
Well, the light was rust,
C Em
and the cold was in our knees,
Em G
and our breath poured out over golden fields
Em
Though I could not know then,
C Em
we'd have but few times like these,
Em G
with all the good smoke in between
Em Am D7
Em
Tucked the darkness in,
C Em
dragged the harrow across the land,
Em
found my fresh start,
G
sowed my wildest dreams
Em
Though I could not know then,
C Em
I was well in the weeds,
Em G
a tangled mess, whatever could come next
Em Am
Am
before the hours took over,
Em G Am
before the full weight was on our shoulders,
Em Am
before the twilight's cover,
Em G Am
before I knew time was such a swindler
D7
Ohhh
G
Oh my dear friend,
C G
everything falls to death
Em
We tuck the darkness in,
Am D7
we tuck the darkness in
G
Oh my dear friend,
C G
everything falls to death
Em
We tuck the darkness in,
Am D7
we tuck the darkness in
G Em Am D7
G Em Am D7
G
Oh my dear friend,
C G
everything falls to death
Em
We tuck the darkness in,
Am D7
we tuck the darkness in
G
Oh my dear friend,
C G
everything falls to death
Em
We tuck the darkness in,
Am D7
we tuck the darkness in
G
Enjoy! :)
