( Am C F F )
    Am                              C
Our finds beneath the cloak of night
     F
Has our minds in control
    F                         Am                         F
We guard them with our weary eyes and we watch them grow
                       Dm
When the time is right
                          Am
And we’re ready to begin
               C                 F
At first tide, your patience wearing thin
F
We scatter in the night
                           Dm
Like scarlet red on winter white
            F
Melting into thin
( Am Am Am Am )
    Am                         C
The kind of which I came to be 
                 F         
After being swallowed whole
    F                     Dm
By offering a piece of me
            
To any given fool
F
We scatter in the night
                         Dm
Like innocent shades of white
                 
Spreading by the wind
( F Em Dm F Em Dm )
     F          Em
They turn to us
            Dm
They ask us why
             F       Em
Who say they are to trust
         Dm
What we define
