Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People: chords

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

         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
