Mumford & Sons - Babel: chords

       Bm
Cos i know that time has numbered my days
                       G               D G D G D G D G
And I'll go along with everything you say
         Bm
But I'll ride home laughing Look at me now
Through the walls of my town
            G        D G D G D G D G
they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
And I know their choices color all I’ve done
But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son
I never lived a year better spent in love

Chorus:
              G      A          Bm      D
'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice
     G        A      Bm         D   A
And I'll believe in grace and choice
        G      A       Bm       D
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
     G       A       Bm     D  A
But I'll be born without a mask

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
I stretch my arms into the sky
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
As all we see will slip into the cloud
So come down from your mountain and stand where we’ve been
You know our breath is weak and our body thin

Bm        G               D
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
Bm            G          D
I should've known I was weaker from the start
Bm                 G                 D       A     G
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
          D     A    D
To tear, tear them down
                      Bm   G     D
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
