[Verse 1]
  Em
I saw it for a second but then the light was fading
Em
Sister morphine was my lady in waiting
Am
  Can I help it if I can’t help it now,
Em
  all the stories I tell myself

[Pre-chorus]
G     D     Am        Em
What can I say to you all,
      C       G      D             Dsus4
it’s fair to say, no words will do

G               D                    C               
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to 
      Am
recognize the life we’re leaving
G                         Em                    Am   
 it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go 
   D
now
    G                     D               C         
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break 
               Am
bread and consecrate the battle
G                      Em                            
 cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each 
Am               D
other we will miss

        Am       D            G
Oh the happiest moment of my life,
        Am       D            Em
was the saddest moment of my life

[Verse 2]
        Em
Was in prison when my daddy died
Em
They didn’t tell me for fear of suicide
Am
Told me when I got outside,
          Em
I started using as soon as I was alone that night

[Pre-chorus]
       G       D          Am         Em
And I died and I went up straight to him
    C              G         D          Dsus4
He said where you been, my troubled son

[Chorus]
G               D                    C               
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to 
      Am
recognize the life we’re leaving
G                         Em                    Am   
 it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go 
   D
now
    G                     D               C         
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break 
               Am
bread and consecrate the battle
G                      Em                            
 cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each 
Am               D
other we will miss

        Am       D            G
Oh the happiest moment of my life,
        Am       D            Em
was the saddest moment of my life

[Bridge]
Em                     C       G         D7/F#
Oh my love can I just sit and hold your face.
    C               G                Dsus4        D
We finally made it here but now the light is low.

[Chorus]
G               D                    C               
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to 
      Am
recognize the life we’re leaving
G                         Em                    Am   
 it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go 
   D
now
    G                     D               C         
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break 
              Am
bread and consecrate the battle
G        G/F#           Em                      Am
 Now I'm feeling kinda faded, I think I need to lay 
        D
down

               Am7      Asus4
Oh you almost saved me
            D
You almost saved me
          G            C     D
You almost saved me nooooooooow
          G            C     D
You almost saved me nooooooooow
          G            C     D
You almost saved me nooooooooow
          G            C     D
You almost saved me nooooooooow

G                D                C               
All this time we pledge allegiance to the tune of a 
   Am
thousand treasons
G                  Em               Am           D
 One nation under something, under water, under mass 
incarceration
G              D              C                 
In the age of feast and famine can we disrupt the 
   Am
social canon
G                        Em               C          
Let our children lead so we all believe, let us see 
     D
the forest for the trees
