[Verse 3]Bm A G Oh, setting sun don't sink before I've found my heart,Bm A G Heart don't give up now while there's still time,Bm A Time don't beat your old retreatE Stay a little while with meG D G Bm G 'Til I've looked the whole thing in the eye [Verse 4]D I have waited,Continues after the adA I have waited,G D For the big reveal, the even keel I've waited. [Verse 5]D But there's no one, whoA Makes it all come true,G D Just altars gathering dust while we bow to them. [Verse 6]Bm A G Oh, night bring all your shadows and your silence,Bm A G Silence make a hostage of my mind,Bm A Mind bring on your trickery,E Black dogs nip on at my heels,G D G Bm G 'Til I've looked the whole thing in the eye.

[Verse 9]Bm A G Oh, setting sun don't weep for all the things you lose,Bm A G Morning comes as sure as it must die,Bm A Dying is such mystery,E Yet I wonder will it be,G A D G When I've looked the whole thing in the eye.
