[Verse 1]
GThe fields grow up till they’re not fields anymore,
and the Cforest grow in to cover your door,
and if you’re Gfeeling left out if you’re left feeling bored
just Cremember your name and what you started Gfor.
[Verse 2]
GThe rafters come down with the changing around.
It’s a Cmatter of time in this seaside town.
It'll Grise it'll swell till the mountains allow,
oh but Cthey'll crumble too like the roof, like the roof of your Gmouth.
[Bridge]
You'll Gpass on Dby a Cstranger's life
just Gthinking of the Dthings that Ckeep you alive,
and they're Gthinking the Dsame about their Cwords and the way
and the Gstrangeness of Dbeing Calone in this place.
[Verse 3]
GOne day I will die and if I leave you behind
don't Cworry my friend my love is by your side,
and Gyours it’s still here where it’s been through the years
oh to Ckeep out the darkness to subside...
[Verse 4]
GAnd one day I will die and if I leave you behind
don't Cworry my friend my love it’s by your side,
and Gyours it’s still here where it’s been through the years
oh to Ckeep out the darkness to subside my Gfears.

[Verse 1]

The fields grow up till they’re not fields anymore,

and the forest grow in to cover your door,

and if you’re feeling left out if you’re left feeling bored

C G

just remember your name and what you started for.

[Verse 2]

The rafters come down with the changing around.

It’s a matter of time in this seaside town.

It'll rise it'll swell till the mountains allow,

C G

oh but they'll crumble too like the roof, like the roof of your mouth.

[Bridge]

G D C

You'll pass on by a stranger's life

G D C

just thinking of the things that keep you alive,

G D C

and they're thinking the same about their words and the way

G D C

and the strangeness of being alone in this place.

[Verse 3]

One day I will die and if I leave you behind

don't worry my friend my love is by your side,

and yours it’s still here where it’s been through the years

oh to keep out the darkness to subside...

[Verse 4]

And one day I will die and if I leave you behind

don't worry my friend my love it’s by your side,

and yours it’s still here where it’s been through the years

C G

oh to keep out the darkness to subside my fears.
