Held In The Arms Of Your Words Chords

(ver. 2)
Tired Pony
In 6/8 time I think. Each chord is played for two bars each (so strum 12 times each chord!)

I like to play this song without capo, and I personally prefer using bar chords in this 
particular song.


INTRO:   A  Bm  A  G
                      (two bars each the whole way through the song!)
         A  Bm  A  G  A


VERSE

                            Bm
This light at the end of the day
                            A
When even the highways seem still
                           G           A
The map in my hands folded shut


                        Bm
There isn't one magical word
                          A
 But a carnival of them instead
                            G          A
 Like an old, silent cinema screen

                                     Bm
In this light you are framed classically
                                  A
 Just a painting that hangs in my head
                                 G         A
 That I know like the back of my hand

                                  Bm
 And with the sun set, the neon awakes
                                    A
 And the cold colours dance on your skin
                            G
 Finally the modern makes sense to me

CHORUS
        A
You're effortless, you know you are
     Bm
 And all I want to do
     A                            G
 Is let you lead me off into the dusk
     A
 Our shadows kiss before we do
  Bm
 Right here in the dark
   A                            G               A
 I revel in the calm before the storm


VERSE
                         Bm
The garden is haunted by us
                               A
 And every mistake that we've made
                                G            A
 Is at peace coz it led us both here
                                 Bm
 The thought that just burns into me
                          A
 Of you in the ink of the night
                                G
 Is the breath-taking danger of you

CHORUS
       A
You're effortless, you know you are
     Bm
 And all I want to do

    A                            G
 Is let you lead me off into the dusk
     A
 Our shadows kiss before we do
  Bm
 Right here in the dark
   A                            G
 I revel in the calm before the storm



        A
This is life
         Bm
 This is all I want from life
          A                             G
 It's the fervour and the tenderness combined.
        A
In the dark,
        Bm
in the ever-falling dark,
        A                            G
 we are anchorless adrift but barely notice
