[Verse 1]
G D
Why does it always rain in autumn,
Aadd11 Gadd9
When it’s already far too late?
Gadd9 D
So high, my fear was once a tower,
Aadd11 Gadd9
Now runs a river through my veins.
Gadd9 D
But oh you told me once:
D Aadd11
I must be bold in love,
Aadd11 Gadd9
Or I must fake my way.
Gadd9 D
And if I hold it up,
D Aadd11
And if I’m strong enough,
Aadd11 Gadd9
Then I might change some day.
[Bridge]
A6 Aadd11 G
It’s an ordinary way to feel an ordinary pain, with an extraordinary sense of shame,
D Gsus2/D D Gsus2/D D Gsus2/D D Gsus2/D
It’s hit and run.
[Verse 2]
G D
Why am I so overpowered
Aadd11 Gadd9
Oh by everything I’ve done?
Gadd9 D
You know I scare myself for hours?
Aadd11 Gadd9
Though I have never held a gun.
Gadd9 D
But oh you wrap me up,
D Aadd11
Oh yeah, you wrap me up,
Aadd11 Gadd9
So how can I deceive?
Gadd9 D
Yeah it’s just so messed up,
D Aadd11 Gadd9
You set that up - now how can I believe?

[Verse 3]
D A
We have fought for many hours
G D
And I have worn my voice to stone,
D A
Destroyed each others power
G D
But no victory ever shows,
D A
But it’s a privilege to be here
G D
And it’s so great to have you home,
D A
We’ve been dancing to the voices
G D
Of a thousand tiny ghosts,
D A
And they’re screaming from the rooftops
G D
Without the sight of hope,
Aadd11 Gadd9 D Gsus2/D D Gsus2/D
And nothing but a diamond sky can set them free
[Verse 4]
D A
Astronomers from everywhere
G D
Are listening to the sound,
D A
They’re open to the questions
G D
But they’re poisoned by the doubt,
D A
Though I’m certain in the distance
G D
There must be something more profound,
D A
So come on, please be quiet
G D
While I try to work it out.
D A
I’m not known to be patient,
G D
Though I never mean to shout,
Aadd11 Gadd9 D Gsus2/D D Gsus2/D
It’s just nothing but a Diamond Sky will bring me peace.
