Lantern

Intro 

D 



D 
The heart believes in something more than what's been said 
D 
The heart's a two faced fortune teller 
D 
It strangles honesty and ties it to a post, 
                       G             D 
When a seat upon a barstool would be better. 



D 
I do not dare to raise my head or move my limbs 
D 
To see the valley in this state 
D 
I fill my glass and let the evening take its shape, 
                                     G        D 
Spinning knives with luckless lovers time and fate 


 
G              A 
You're shining still 
            Bm        A 
You're a lantern on a hill 
D           G             A 
And I would burn into the ground 
        D 
To take you home 



D 
Louder grow the words that fall from fortune's jagged lips, 
D 
The anchor and the diving bell 
D 
And though I fear I may be rudderless at sea, 
                                           G     D 
I, I, I have searched for ground in deeper wells. 



G              A 
You're shining still 
            Bm        D 
You're a lantern on a hill 
D           G             D 
And I would burn into the ground 
            Bm    A  D  G 
To take you home, home, home 
            Bm    D     G 
To take you home, home, home 
            Bm    D     G 
To take you home, home, home 
            Bm    D 
To take you home, home, home 
    G              A 
Oh, you're shining still 
             Bm           D 
Oh, you're a lantern on a hill 
            G             D 
And I would burn into the ground 
D 
To take you home 
G D G 
Home...
