   C#m7  Bsus   E  A

E                            A   
Ten thousand glimmering like 
         E
coals in our chest
C#m7        Bsus           E    
Ball bearings drawn to the 
    A
magnetic breath
E                            A   
Of ten thousand weeping with 
           E
wings on their tears
      C#m7          Bsus       E 
Amidst ten thousand voices for 
           A
ten thousand years
      E                        
For ten thousand graves yawning 
  A           E
unlocked and unlatched
    C#m7         Bsus       E    
Now ten thousand holes with rocks
           A
 on their backs
   E                          
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide 
 A           E
singing the praises
   C#m7         Bsus      E      
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced 
    A
and unlaid

        B                   C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
      A              B         
Their doors for the ten thousand 
              C#m7       A
standing on nineveh's shores

         E
Where the blood of a husband
A        E             A       
Silences wars for the girl who 
B        E
rises to meet him

              A                  
And she sings world i've overcome 
    C#m7
you world i've overcome you
Bsus                       A     
World i've overcome by my song 
                 Bsus
and the blood of a son

    E                       A     
But ten thousand rivers run red 
      E
like my veins
         C#m7      Bsus         
Where the bones of men hum like a 
   E       A
rattling cage
   E                      A     
For sinew to cling to for wind to 
   E
remain
  C#m7           Bsus      
In ten thousand lungs for ten 
E           A
thousand days
    E                         A   
I'm breathing like a choir of 
          E
holes in the ground
          C#m7        Bsus        
Where the cynical have lain where 
    E          A
the cynical go down
         E                     A  
Save the gravity time of  lets go 
       E
of her drowned
         C#m7      Bsus       E  
Like ten thousand sparrows 
         A
unlocked and unwound

        B                    C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
      A              B         
Their doors for the ten thousand 
              C#m7       A
standing on nineveh's shores
         E
Where the blood of a husband
A        E             A       
Silences wars for the girl who 
B        E
rises to meet him

                    A            
And she sings world i've overcome 
          C#m7
you world i've overcome you
Bsus                       A     
World i've overcome by my song 
                 Bsus
and the blood of a son
