Intro D D D D D Em G D D Em G D [Verse 1] D Em Tell me, is everything unplanned? G D It's all so unexpected that I just can't understand D Em We run so hard and always end up in the same place G D Glad that went so smoothly, well that never is the case Chorus G D One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright G D We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night C It's just the storm before the calm G Asus4 D D Like the life held in your palm, it's clay one day [Verse 2] D Em And you stand there with ashes blowing past G D Dipping into gilt-edged love that will be made at last D And the gold you spend and the hastening end Em That you throw into the sea G D Coming back a hundredfold, there's no guarantee Chorus G D One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright G D We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night C It's just the storm before the calm G Asus4 D D Like the life held in your palm, it's clay one day Solo D Em G D D Em G D Chorus G D One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright G D We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night C It's just the storm before the calm G Asus4 D D Like the life held in your palm, it's clay one day [Verse 3] D Em We'll walk and be like giants, we'll all be honest men G D I go back to my blindness so that I may see again D Em A woman standing on a hill is gazing out to sea G D Dreaming of a new age, waiting there for me [Verse 4] D Em I call her from a distance and she smiles into the sun G D And men and gods begin their dance for their time has begun D Em And holy wars extended and battlefields of pain G D Are washed away, forgotten in the perfect rain [Verse 5] D Em Princes, kings and humble things are well-worn and content G D Messengers come everywhere, envoys have been sent D Em Na na na na, na-na na, a palm tree nodded at me last night G D He said "Hey, you look so pale" Outro D Em G D D Em G D
