A Greater Darkness

Dm Am G

[Verse 1]
Am
A greater darkness for all its worth
Am
A friend so young whose life was cut
              F
We drink the rain to clear our throats
            G                     Em                  Am
We drink the poison - we drink the poison - to make it go

[Verse 2]
Am
The little mercies above all things
Am
No final act, no final scene
             F
A friend for life and in death too
         G               Em              Dm
Forever strong, forever hold, inside our soul

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Am
The day now ends and all within
Am
A greater darkness covers everything
            F
Is there no end for such a pain?
            G              Em              Dm
Is there no hope, no other life, no way to know?

[Chorus]
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
