Em D C x2
Em D C
Light up my lantern, I'll cut you a path,
C Em D C
We've walked for hours and it's getting dark
Em D C
We left the roadside in search of aid,
C Em C D
Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made
G D C
I've never seen someone bleeding like this,
C Em D C
Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist
Em D C
I'll light the stove and sit by the hearth,
C Em D C
Orangey glow light the wintry dark
Em D C
We kept her bedroom exactly the same,
C Em C D
Winters they followed and Summers they came
G D C
He'd bash around, banging down on the floor
C Em D C
I sit alone with an eye on the door
G D C
Stop in this clearing, we'll stay here tonight
C Em D
Press up against me, I'll hold you so tight
D C G
I got these matches, we'll let off some smoke
G D C
Maybe they'll see us and maybe they won't
C Em D
Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars,
D C Em D C
I'll lie awake listening out for cars
Em D C
He stares through curtains when he talks to the night,
C Em D C
I sit and listen for tires on the drive
Em D C
I keep on waiting and he keeps on talking
C Em C D
Just stop him talking, please stop him talking
- Just strum downwards here no upward strums
G D C
No, give me silence
Em D C
Give me silence,
G D C
Give me silence
C D Em
Oh, no...
