Beirut - The Penalty Ukulele

F C Em F C Em F

                C        Em      F
Like an ancient day and I'm on trial

                   C         Em          F
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
    G           C        F     C
And I could not stay for I believed them
G            C        F       C        F C Em F C Em F
Left for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling

G                        C        F            C
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
G            C        F       C  G   C F C G C F C
Left for the lights always in season
