Em Bm Am7 Bm (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em Bm Am7 Bm
All this time I've been hanging on
Em Bm Am7
To an edge I caught when we both were young
Bm Em
That the world I want wasn't near enough
D C
All was distant, always off
[Verse 2]
Em Bm Am7 Bm
In all that war, I'd forgotten how
Em Bm Am7
Many men might die for what I'd renounced
Bm Em
I was staging life as a battleground
D C
No I let that grasping fall
[Chorus 1]
C Cmaj9/B Am7
May the last long year be forgiven
C Cmaj9/B Am7
All that war left within it
C Cmaj9/B Am7 D
I couldn't, though I'm beginning to
C Cmaj9/B Am7
And we've only made it together
C Cmaj9/B Am7
Feel some change in the weather
C Cmaj9/B Am7 D
I couldn't, though I'm beginning to

[Verse 3]
Em Bm Am7 Bm
And though it's all so uncertain cold
Em Bm Am7
All the rafters cracked, all the copper sold
Bm Em
There's a ration back in a manifold
D C
If you need it or forgot
[Chorus 2]
C Cmaj9/B Am7
May the last long year be forgiven
C Cmaj9/B Am7
All that war left within it
C Cmaj9/B Am7 D
I couldn't, though I'm beginning to
C Cmaj9/B Am7
And we've only made it together
C Cmaj9/B Am7
Feel some change in the weather

[Bridge 2]
Am/C Cmaj7/G Bm Am7
And somehow I see eee
Cmaj7 Bm Am7
It's free eee
Em Bm Am Bm
Em Bm Am
[Chorus 3]
C Cmaj9/B Am7
And with love and hate in the balance
C Cmaj9/B Am7
One last way past the malice
C Cmaj9/B Am7 D
One warm day's all I really need
C Cmaj9/B Am7
And with love and hate in the balance
C Cmaj9/B Am7
One last way past the malice
C Cmaj9/B Am7 D
One warm day's all I really need
