Verse 1:
Em G
The car crunches gravel
D A
And the wind licks at you
Em G
This dark spell you're under
D A
Has you dumbstruck by the gate
Verse 2:
Em G
And it hurts every muscle
D A
Just to walk back to the house
Em G
Now this home that you both made
D A
It looks haunted from the yard
Chorus:
Em G D
You can hear those distant bells
A Em
And you know they'll never leave
G D
It's like your church is crying out
A Em
Like the wolf calls to her young
Verse 3:
G
And the dark never enters
D A
But it also never leaves
Em G
And this spark that he gave you
D A
Is just an ember all but out
Verse 4:
Em G
If he'd one eye on the exit
D A
Oh you never would have known
Em G
Until he drove off in the darkness
D A
Like some slowly fading song
Chorus:
Em G D
You can hear those distant bells
A Em
And you know they'll never leave
G D
It's like your church is crying out
A Em
Like the wolf calls to her young
G D
You can hear those distant bells
A Em
And you know they'll never leave
G D
It's like your church is crying out
A Em
Like the wolf calls to her young
EmGDA
