[Verse 1]
G
You know I sing of love because it scares you least of all
C
I'm home in the decaying in the scattered leaves of fall
G
But oh, I'm seeing ghosts, I'm seeing ghosts I sing along
C
when all my favorite stories are proving false, they are proving false
G
The ones they love to tell you when you've never asked at all
Am C D
When the fire is dying darling, come inside
[Verse 2]
G
You and I drove for hours through the endless Kansas plains
C
I traced the black outline of every stubborn human thing
G
Alone on the horizon "you want it darker," Leonard sings
Am D
Well, the light is dying darling, come inside
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
G
Sad is the beginning if the end is all it brings
C
But still the world keeps turning between the wood, the rocks, the springs
G
And all I came to tell you as night collapses everything
Am D
Is if the song keeps playing darling, sing along
