Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro 2 x2

Verse

What we put before

The love and the rain

and the wide open plain

What we choose to take

What will remain

on the wide open plain

From the skies on high

Nothing has changed

stars appearing out again

In a wave of wind

Flood of rain

We are washed grain by grain

Chorus

You will not hide inside the shadows

When the day begins again

You won't be watching from you windows

in the wide open plain

Break

Verse

Oh they come to me

One by one

in the little time remains

I felt the sting of

deeds I'd done

by which i'd hoped to gain

The melody of

the songs unsung are

drawn out slow with pain

and swelled beyond

horizon lines

on the wide open plain

Chorus

you will not see me up and running

for there are no heights to gain

and we will surely see it coming

in the wide open plain

Break

Verse

we stand once more on

the golden shores

a still and stony train

The sea of glass

the sea that roars

where all their spoils are drained

We'll now and ever

deeply lie

anchoring our chains

and divide us endless

depthless from

the wide open plain

Chorus

I wake up trembling in the morning

to a cold and soundless rain

i know beneath these streets aborning

is a wide open plain
