A Greater Darkness

	  		Intro: Dm Am Em 

Am 
A greater darkness for all its worth 
Am 
A friend so young whose life was cut 
              Em 
We drink the rain to clear our throats 
            G                     Em                  Dm 
We drink the poison - we drink the poison - to make it go 

Am 
The little mercies above all things 
Am 
No final act, no final scene 
             Em 
A friend for life and in death too 
         G               Em              Dm 
Forever strong, forever hold, inside our soul 


Dm                            Am 
So raise your hands above the waters 
                            Dm 
We are the thieves in giant shoulders 
                                     Am 
So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower 
             G                Dm 
To watch you drown inside the monster 


Dm                            Am 
So raise your hands above the waters 
                            Dm 
We are the thieves in giant shoulders 
Dm 
So raise your hands... 
Am            Em              Am 
So raise your hands above the waters 

Am 
The day now ends and all within 
Am 
A greater darkness covers everything 
            Em 
Is there no end for such a pain? 
            G              Em              Dm 
Is there no hope, no other life, no way to know? 

Am 
The little mercies above all things 
Am 
No final act, no final scene 
             Em 
A friend for life and in death too 
         G               Em              Dm 
Forever strong, forever hold, inside our soul 


Dm                            Am 
So raise your hands above the waters 
                            Dm 
We are the thieves in giant shoulders 
                                     Am 
So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower 
             G                Dm 
To watch you drown inside the monster
