Respite On The Spitalfields

D Bb

[Verse]
D                   Bb
  We're here in the after
D                Bb           Gm
  Of a murderous crafter, the past
               C
Is spun like a yarn and mangled
     Bb                  Dm       C
With flesh and blood and bones, I wonder
    Bb              Dm      C
Did no one hear the distant thunder?
D              Bb
  The autumnal reaper
D                    Bb           Gm
  The stains of this creeper will last
                  C
The shine and the sham entangled
     Bb                 Dm       C
Like salting earth with tears of Jesus
   Bb                   Dm        C
He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces

[Pre-Chorus]
        Dm                        Bb
For the dreams that you dread, ah
      Dm                Gsus4
Can becomе just as real
       G                       Gsus4
As the blood that was shed, ah
         Gm
With thе slash of his steel
        Dm                      Bb
Now the street walking dead, ah
            Dm                Gsus4
Was quite a scene, wasn’t it?
        G                    Gsus4
For the lost and mislead, ah
              Gm
Were promised seats by the pit

[Chorus]
Bb             F     C
We will break away together
               Dm                 Am    C
I'll be the shadow, you'll be the light
Bb           F        C
Nothing ever lasts forever
           Dm              Am    Bb Db
We will go softly into the night

Ebm                     Ebsus2
    We are leaving this city
B/Eb                Ebsus2
     So this is farewell
G#/Eb                  B/Eb
      Goodbye Seven Sisters
Gb               Db
   And Saint Jezebel
Ebm                 Ebsus2
    The moon in the gutter
B/Eb                Ebsus2
     Has a story to tell
G#/Eb                      B/Eb
      One day he will come back
Gb                    Db   Dbm
   From the bowels of Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
     Dm                   Bb
He appeared to ascend, ah
          Dm                 Gsus4
So we all stood there in awe
       G                   Gsus4
Now we have to pretend, ah
          Gm
We didn’t see what we saw
         Dm                   Bb
When the curtain unveiled, ah
       Dm                Gsus4
To the sound of applause
         G                       Gsus4
That the king that we hailed, ah
        Gm
Was the Wizard of Oz

[Chorus]
Bb             F     C
We will break away together
               Dm                 Am    C
I'll be the shadow, you'll be the light
Bb           F        C
Nothing ever lasts forever
           Dm              Am    C
We will go softly into the night
Bb F C
Dm Am C
Bb           F        C
Nothing ever lasts forever
           Dm              Am
We will go softly into the night
