Em Bm Tomorrow you'll see it through G Am The clouded out disguises put you in the room D C And though I wandered out alone G Gmaj7 Em G A thousand lights abounded on our home C G And I remember every sound it made D Em7 The clouded out disguises and the grave C G So yeah I know I'm still afraid D Em Cmaj7 Of letting go of choices I have made Chorus: D All delighted people raise their hands Em Bm And I took you by the sleeve G Am No other reason than to be leading your leading man Em Bm And you woke up with a fright G Am Our lives depended on the visions through the night Em Bm And all we had always, all we had always wanted to before G Am E The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor Chorus Still the force of nature spurned Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement Chorus C G I'm not easily confused D Em The trouble with the storm inside us grew C G But I had so much to give D Em G In spite of all the terror and abuse C G And the people bowed and prayed E Em A And what difference does it make for you and me? D All delighted people raise their hands C G And the people bowed and prayed Am G And what difference does it make? Dm C It doesn't matter anyway Am G D The world surrounds us with its hate Hello darkness my old friend it breaks my heart I’ve come to strangle you in spite of what you’d like And don’t be a rascal, don’t be a laughing dog in spite of odds All I’m deciphering from the spirits in the light within Chorus In restless dreams I walked alone I walked alive The clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness Chorus And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And what difference does it make? I love you so much anyway And on your breast I gently laid Your arms surround me in the lake I am joined with you forever And the people bowed and prayed And what difference does it make for you and me? Chorus I’m not easily confused I feel alive I feel it glowing in the room D All delighted people raise their hands F#m E All delighted people Bm All delighted people raise their hands D E All delighted people D All delighted people raise their hands F#m E All delighted people Bm All delighted people raise their hands D E All delighted people D F#m E And the people bowed and prayed G D Oh I love you a lot; Oh! I love you from the top E of my heart D F#m E And what difference does it make? G D I still love you a lot; Oh! I love you from the top E of my heart G Bm A E Em And on your breast I gently laid all my head in your arms Em D E Do you love me from the top of your heart? G Bm D E G I tried my best I tried in vain. Do you love me a lot? D E Do you love me from the top of your heart? D A E And the people bowed and prayed G Oh! I love you a lot; Oh! D E I love you from the top of my heart D A E And you can see through my mistakes G Oh! I'll tell it to you now; D Oh! I'll tell it from the top of my heart G Bm A E And what difference does it make G D A G If the world is a mess; if the world is a mess? G Bm A E And on your breast I gently laid G A Oh! I'll tell it to you now; Oh! I'll tell it to you now A G (When the world's come and gone shall we Bm A E follow our transgressions G D A Or shall we stand strong?) G Bm A E I tried to save the things I made G A Oh! But the world is a mess, Oh! But the world is a mess G Bm A E7 G And what difference does it make if the world D is a mess? A If the world is a mess? G Bm A C#m I tried my best I tried in vain G Bm Oh! But the world is a mess! A G Oh! But the world is a mess! G Bm A E G Bm Suffer not the child among you or shall you die A young when the world's come and gone G Bm A E G Bm Suffer not the child among you or shall you die A young when the world's come and gone You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  Bm  C  C#m  Cmaj7  D  Dm  E  E7  Em  Em7  F#m  G  Gmaj7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
