Day Before We Went To War

Dm Dm Dm C 2x Dm All the pictures on the wall C The sand lying on the floor Dm The bed upstairs, still unmade Dm The dust float in the light C The people just left Bm All laughter and mess Am Forgetting this and that Gm F C And rushing back Dm The front door open Dm Dm The music still playing in one room Dm Down the hall C Dm And towels on the floor Dm And then it's quiet Dm Just the bees and birds C The summer haze Bb Am Of the trees, and the air Gm F C Feeds it all, feeds it all Dm We can all feel it C Bb Like a light hand on your back Am Welcoming you Dm We can all feel it C Bb Like a light hand on your back Am Welcoming you Gm F C The day before we went to war C The day before we went to war C Dm We can all feel it Dm All the parasols and kids at play C The sea so still and calm Dm Blue as the cloudless sky C Just the gentle hum Dm Of the summer's goings on Dm Broken by the sudden rush Dm Of two planes C Flying low and fast Bb Am Into the sun, into the sun Dm We can all feel it C Bb Like a light hand on your back Am Welcoming you Dm We can all feel it C Bb Like a light hand on your back Am Welcoming you Gm F C The day before we went to war C The day before we went to war C Dm We can all feel it Dm Dm Dm C 2x Gm F C Dm We can all feel it C Bb Like a light hand on your back Am Welcoming you Dm We can all feel it C Bb Like a light hand on your back Am Welcoming you Gm F C The day before we went to war C The day before we went to war
