The Lumineers - Caves

(originally by Gregory Alan Isakov)

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
Am Em
You go ahead
F C Em7
There’s something I forgot
Am C Em
Walk slowly and I’ll catch up
F C Em7
Let’s hear the stars do their talking

Am Em
I used to love caves
F C Em7
Stumble out into that pink sky
Am C Em
Remember that bright whole moon?
F C Em7
It showed our insides on our outsides

[Chorus]
Am Em F C Em7
This town closes down the same time everyday
Am Em
Put out the smoke in your mind
F C Em7
Let’s put all these words away
F C Em7
Let’s put all these words away

[Verse 2]
Am Em
Now I think I like birds
F C Em7
See ’em fly from St. Paul
Am C Em
And I go running when the night aches
F C Em7
I hear her every time she calls

Am Em
Did I hеar something break
F C Em7
Was that your heart or my hеart
Am Em
Like when the Earth shakes
F C Em7
Then the silence that follows

[Chorus]
Am Em F C
This town closes down the same time everyday
Am Em
Put out the smoke in your mind
F C Em7
Let’s put all these words away
F C Em7
Let’s put all these words away

[Outro]
F C Em7
Let’s put all these words away
F C
Let’s put all these words away
