In 6/8 time I think. Each chord is played for two bars each (so strum 12 times each chord!)
I like to play this song without capo, and I personally prefer using bar chords in this
particular song.
INTRO: A Bm A G
(two bars each the whole way through the song!)
[A] [Bm] [A] [G] [A]
VERSE
This light at the end of the[Bm] day
When even the highways seem [A]still
The map in my hands folded [G]shut[A]
There isn't one magical [Bm]word
But a carnival of them in[A]stead
Like an old, silent cinema [G]screen[A]
In this light you are framed classica[Bm]lly
Just a painting that hangs in my [A]head
That I know like the back of my [G]hand[A]
And with the sun set, the neon aw[Bm]akes
And the cold colours dance on your [A]skin
Finally the modern makes se[G]nse to me
CHORUS
You're e[A]ffortless, you know you are
And [Bm]all I want to do
Is l[A]et you lead me off into the d[G]usk
Our [A]shadows kiss before we do
R[Bm]ight here in the dark
I [A]revel in the calm before the [G]storm[A]
VERSE
The garden is haunted by [Bm]us
And every mistake that we've m[A]ade
Is at peace coz it led us both [G]here[A]
The thought that just burns into[Bm] me
Of you in the ink of the [A]night
Is the breath-taking danger of [G]you
CHORUS
You're [A]effortless, you know you are
And [Bm]all I want to do
Is [A]let you lead me off into the [G]dusk
Our [A]shadows kiss before we do
R[Bm]ight here in the dark
I [A]revel in the calm before the [G]storm
This is [A]life
This is [Bm]all I want from life
It's the [A]fervour and the tenderness com[G]bined.
In the d[A]ark,
in the e[Bm]ver-falling dark,
we are [A]anchorless adrift but barely [G]notice
