[Intro]
Dm Gm E Bb
[Verse 1]
DmI see you trembling like the Earth is falling from your feet
Like you've never felt the ground Gmbefore
EAn indication you're over your head again
That you don’t know how to settle the BbscoreE  
DmI would be lying if I told you that I didn't know
The way that you could fix it Gmall
EIf you're stacking your problems like a pile of bricks
You've gotta knock down the BbwallE  
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Before FmsomeoneG#m, like yAmou, bBbreaks you C#mand puDmts you iEbn the grFound
[Refrain]
Do the Bbheavens ever spare the crop when the winter Efalls?
GmCould we really hide if the reaper cDmalls?
And so it Gmgoes, the lamb will be lead to the Dmloam
And you will rEeturnBb  
[Verse 2]
DmI see a hesitating grimace held above your chin
Like you haven't thought of this Gmbefore
EAnd though the sentiment keeps you from letting go
You know it's irresisBbtibleE  
To Gmhear Athose vBboiceCs Dmhush, Eyou Fmust bGe FcoldAm  
In Gmtimes Awhen pBbiece Cof Ammind is Cbought and Dmsold
[Pre-Chorus 2]

Do the Bbheavens ever spare the crop when the winter Efalls?

[Intro]

Dm Gm E Bb

[Verse 1]

I see you trembling like the Earth is falling from your feet

Like you've never felt the ground before

An indication you're over your head again

Bb E

That you don’t know how to settle the score

I would be lying if I told you that I didn't know

The way that you could fix it all

If you're stacking your problems like a pile of bricks

Bb E

You've gotta knock down the wall

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Fm G#m Am Bb C#m Dm Eb F

Before someone, like you, breaks you and puts you in the ground

[Refrain]

Bb E

Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the winter falls?

Gm Dm

Could we really hide if the reaper calls?

Gm Dm

And so it goes, the lamb will be lead to the loam

E Bb

And you will return

[Verse 2]

I see a hesitating grimace held above your chin

Like you haven't thought of this before

And though the sentiment keeps you from letting go

Bb E

You know it's irresistible

Gm A Bb C Dm E F G F Am

To hear those voices hush, you must be cold

Gm A Bb C Am C Dm

In times when piece of mind is bought and sold

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Fm G#m Am Bb C#m Dm Eb F

Cause someone, like you, would break you and put you in the ground

[Refrain]

Bb E

Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the winter falls?

Gm Dm

Could we really hide if the reaper calls?

Gm Dm

And so it goes, the lamb will be lead to the loam

E Bb

And you will return

[Outro]

Dm Em F C C/A Bb C Dm

Dm Em Em F F

Don’t you want to see him fall apart

C C C/A Bb C

So you can pick the pieces up and put him back together?

Dm Em Em F F

Finally building up the perfect pawn

C C C/A Bb

Another shadow lost in the dark,

C C C/A Bb

(hold until end)

Another shadow lost in the dark.
