Intro:
D  Dsus  D  Dsus (x2)

Verse 1:
    D       Dsus                  
A bus station, in the steam from 
  D            Dsus
the rain
      Bm          A        G 
In this line of pale strangers, 
                      D   Dsus
should I go or stay?
                    D    Dsus  
The whole field of vision, fades 
                D          Dsus
beneath me now
         Bm          A            
And the houses spread for a 
  G
million miles,
               D   Dsus
in this gray town

Pre-Chorus:
          Bm        Bm7           
And the weight of glory, if you 
G              A
held it in your hand
           Bm        Bm7           
It would pass right through you, so
G              A
 now's your chance

           Bm  Bm7  A
Would you fall to pieces
           Bm  Bm7  D
Would you fall to pieces
           Bm  Bm7  A
Would you fall to pieces
               D        Dsus
In the high countries?
Verse 2:
            D      Dsus           
We are just pilgrims of the great 
    D     Dsus
divorce
     Bm             A             
I am witness to the light and I am
  G                        D
 captive to my own remorse

Pre-Chorus:
        Bm        Bm7           G
And the weight of glory, if you 
              A
held it in your hand
        Bm        Bm7           G
It would pass right through you, 
              A
so now's your chance

(Chorus)

Bridge:
              A          Bm       
You drink the cup to the bottom, 
      G             D
but it burns in your hands
    A              Bm         G  
The cup was poured out on the 
      A
Maker instead


Verse 3:
           D          Dsus        
Out on the green plains, I am but 
    D     Dsus
a ghost
     Bm       A                G 
Bound up with all that I call 
                         D   Dsus
mine; still the light grows

(Chorus 2x)
