Atlas Four Chords

(ver. 1)
Sleeping At Last
D# Gm F
Gm A# F
A# D#
Gm Dm D#

[Verse]
            D#  Gm   F
I'm turning out the lights
            Cm  A# F
To remember how to see
        A#                D#
Until a renaissance takes place
     Gm                       Dm             D#
And resuscitates the color of paint and divinity

[Verse]
                 D#  Gm    F
As if God hid the building blocks
        Cm       Gm      F
Of every beautiful thing
                A#       D#
In this game of hide and seek
                 Gm              Dm                   D#maj7
I can't help but think that ordinary has swallowed the key

[Bridge]
       Cm               D#
Bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust
      Gm        F
For a moment we get to be glorious
       Cm               A#
Ice sculptures adorned in light
       Gm             F
Sand castles built tall in between the tides

[Chorus]
 Cm            A#
Maybe I'm hiding behind metaphor
Gm      F
Maybe my heart needs to break to be sure
Cm     D#    Gm
One day I'll wear it all on my sleeve
              F                    C
The insignificant with the sacred unique

[Verse]
                    F   Am       G
But I've fallen in love with a ghost
              Dm             C          G
And I lost my balance when I needed it most
                C          F
This blurry photograph is proof
                  Am                    Em  E
Of what I'm not sure but it feels like truth

[Verse]
            F          Am           G
I'm stuck swimming in shadows down here
           Dm              C          G
It's been forever since I came up for air
              C                D
Flashlight in hand determined to find
          C           Em             C      Em
Authenticity only poetry could even begin
          F
to try to describe

Dm F Dm G

[Bridge]
Dm                     C            Am
Bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust
G
For a moment we get to be glorious
F Am G
Get to be glorious
E Em Am           C  D  C  G
Get to be glorious

[Outro]
           F     Am G
What if we already are
                  E Em Am
Who we've been dying to become
           Em          G       D
In certain light I can plainly see
                C       Em
A reflection of magnificence
C         Em
Hidden in you
             C
Maybe even in me
