^F#mTomorrow you’ll see it^C#m through ^AThe clouded out disguises ^Bmput you in the ^Bm7room

^EAnd though I wandered out a^Dlone ^AA thousand l^Eights abounded ^F#mon our h^Aome

^DAnd I remember every s^Aound it made ^EThe clouded out disguises and the ^F#mgrave ^A

^DSo yeah I know I’m still^A afraid ^EOf letting go of choices I have ^F#mmade ^A ^D

^EAll Delighted people raise their hands

^F#mAnd I took you by the s^C#mleeve ^ANo other reason than to ^Bmbe your leading m^Dan

^F#mAnd you woke up with a f^C#mright ^Cm ^AOur lives depended on the v^Bmisions through the n^Dight

^F#mOh we had always, Oh we had always w^C#manted to before ^Cm ^AThe hurricane inclined us, g^Bmrappling on the f^F#loor

^EAll Delighted people raise their hands

^F#mStill the force of nature s^C#mpurns ^Cm ^AIdeas of strength and style a^Bmbated by the b^F#urning basement

^EAll Delighted people raise their hands

^DAnd I’m not easily co^Anfused ^EThe trouble with the storm inside us ^F#mbrews ^A

^DBut I have so much to g^Aive ^EIn spite of all the terror and a^F#mbuse ^A
