Tuning: E A D G B E

He plays these chords in an alternate way and may have guitar in an open tuning. You may want to play E6, A6, and F#m6 instead of the base chords.

^EThrough a door in the end On a crumbling stair ^AIn a clear and rushing vein In a tunnel full of rain ^F#mIn a piece of yellow light On the skin of my eye ^EAre you there?

^EIn the wind of my lung In methane and in love ^AIn petroleum plumes There's a floating slice of moon ^F#mIn your tooth and your claw And your unforgiving jaws ^EAre you there?

^EOn a burning white ship In the taste of her lips ^AIn the blood of the swans As the sun fucks the dawn ^F#mIn the mud of the lake In the drunk and the dazed ^EAre you there?

^EIn the now that is not On a ladder to God ^AOn a mountain stripped bare With your hand in my hair ^F#mBehind the face of the sky On a disappearing lie ^EAre you there?

^EIn the then that was now In the now that is not ^AIn our names we forgot In a thought we just lost ^F#mWe become what we choose We are stumbling fools ^EWho are not there

^EThere's some tangled dirty twine In some idiot's clouded mind ^AThere's some wires that won't unwind Around the ankles of the blind ^F#mThere's some walls lined with soft lead And in that room is your bed ^EIs that really you?

^EAre you in there? ^EOn the moon? ^EIn the air? ^EIn my hand? ^EThrown in a fire?
