[Verse 1]
EmIn the valley of Bmdarkness
Where Amoonlight glows beChind the Dfalling Emleaves
In the wastes of novBmember
Where each Aman sees what Conly Dhe beElieves
[Chorus]
EI would show you what you Gar-Fre
In a porCtrait where you Dwrith in living Eoils
Yes i'd show you what you Gar -Fre
A reCflection in a Dlake before it Emboils
[Verse 2]
EmIn the harbour of autBmumn
Where the sAummer ships are waCter lDogged and Emcold
Does it hurt you to remBmember
How they Acame and went beCfore the Dyear got Eold
[Chorus]
EThe distraction of the Gra-Fin
after twiClight never stops till wiDnter's midnight brEeath
Shall i show it you agGa-Fin
How Cprecisely shall my Dangels fly to comfort you with Emdeath
[Verse 3]
EmIf you fell in to the watBmer
It would Afreeze you long beCfore you Dreach the lEmand
And at four tomorrow moBmrning
There would Abe no dawn, no Cfootprints Din the sEand
[Chorus]
EI would take you as you Gar-Fre
every morCning, now you Dreach me with your eyes as red as Esun
Yes i'd take you as you Gar-Fre
from your biCrthday till the Dend of you, the end of everyoEmne.

[Verse 1]

Em Bm

In the valley of darkness

A C D Em

Where moonlight glows behind the falling leaves

In the wastes of november

A C D E

Where each man sees what only he believes

[Chorus]

E G F

I would show you what you ar-re

C D E

In a portrait where you writh in living oils

G F

Yes i'd show you what you ar -re

C D Em

A reflection in a lake before it boils

[Verse 2]

Em Bm

In the harbour of autumn

A C D Em

Where the summer ships are water logged and cold

Does it hurt you to remember

A C D E

How they came and went before the year got old

[Chorus]

E G F

The distraction of the ra-in

C D E

after twilight never stops till winter's midnight breath

G F

Shall i show it you aga-in

C D Em

How precisely shall my angels fly to comfort you with death

[Verse 3]

Em Bm

If you fell in to the water

A C D Em

It would freeze you long before you reach the land

And at four tomorrow morning

A C D E

There would be no dawn, no footprints in the sand

[Chorus]

E G F

I would take you as you ar-re

C D E

every morning, now you reach me with your eyes as red as sun

G F

Yes i'd take you as you ar-re

C D Em

from your birthday till the end of you, the end of everyone.
