[Verse 1] 
AmAnd being outDside your wisdom
GAnd stretching the tEmruth
AmI was the oDil and lavender
GBut never for yEmou
AmYou had to toDil and sit in
GThe sun browned your sEmkin
AmIt burned all the aDlabaster
GTill the ask choked the Emwind
[Chorus 1] 
AmThey say it's the lDongest light
GTo ever have sEmhown
AmThey say it's the loDngest lie
GAnd that nobody kEmnows
AmThey say it's the lonDgest lie
GAnd I still taste the sEmmoke
[Verse 2] 
AmNow only ungraDteful remember (?)
GTo sleep in the sEmtone
AmWith all of your grDace and thunder
GThe roll and the bEmoom
AmI was the clDoak and dagger
GThat snuck into yEmou
AmAnd we have but oDne life finger
GThat's pointing at Emus
[Chorus 2] 
AmAnd that would be the lonDgest night
GThat chilled bane to Embone
AmThat would be the loDngest night
GTo sleep here aEmlone
AmThat would be the loDngest night
GI think you'd be G/F#warmer closer to Emme

G/F#

[Verse 1]

Am D

And being outside your wisdom

G Em

And stretching the truth

Am D

I was the oil and lavender

G Em

But never for you

Am D

You had to toil and sit in

G Em

The sun browned your skin

Am D

It burned all the alabaster

G Em

Till the ask choked the wind

[Chorus 1]

Am D

They say it's the longest light

G Em

To ever have shown

Am D

They say it's the longest lie

G Em

And that nobody knows

Am D

They say it's the longest lie

G Em

And I still taste the smoke

[Verse 2]

Am D

Now only ungrateful remember (?)

G Em

To sleep in the stone

Am D

With all of your grace and thunder

G Em

The roll and the boom

Am D

I was the cloak and dagger

G Em

That snuck into you

Am D

And we have but one life finger

G Em

That's pointing at us

[Chorus 2]

Am D

And that would be the longest night

G Em

That chilled bane to bone

Am D

That would be the longest night

G Em

To sleep here alone

Am D

That would be the longest night

G G/F# Em

I think you'd be warmer closer to me
