F
[Verse 1]
G
Were we the hammer
Am
Were we the powder
D D
Were we the cold evening air
F G
Were we the wild geese
Am Em
Were we the tall trees
D D
Were we the shot in the air
[Chorus]
F C F
And the background noise
C Am Em
Goes fading now
C E F
No sounds, just the quiver of a lip
D
Even the moon’s half holding back
[Verse 2]
F G Am Em
Look, we’re falling so easy
D
Like the rain in the dirty south
F G Am Em
Justified for the fighting
D
Were we living in the lion’s mouth?
[Chorus]
F C F
And the background noise
C Am Em
Goes fading now
C E F
No sounds, just the quiver of a lip
D D
Even the moon’s half holding back
[Outro]
F Am F C Am Em C E F
