[Verse 1]

D Em
Tell me, is everything unplanned?
G D
It’s all so unexpected that I just can’t understand
D Em
We run so hard and always end up in the same place
G D
Glad that went so smoothly, well that never is the case

[Chorus]

G D
One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright
G D
We’ll shake away the shadows of eternal night
C
It’s just the storm before the calm
G Asus4 D D
Like the life held in your palm, it’s clay one day

[Verse 2]

D Em
And you stand there with ashes blowing past
G D
Dipping into gilt-edged love that will be made at last
D
And the gold you spend and the hastening end
Em
That you throw into the sea
G D
Coming back a hundredfold, there’s no guarantee

[Chorus]

G D
One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright
G D
We’ll shake away the shadows of eternal night
C
It’s just the storm before the calm
G Asus4 D D
Like the life held in your palm, it’s clay one day

[Solo]

[Chorus]

G D
One day, doubtless, cloudless, bright
G D
We’ll shake away the shadows of eternal night
C
It’s just the storm before the calm
G Asus4 D D
Like the life held in your palm, it’s clay one day

[Verse 3]

D Em
We’ll walk and be like giants, we’ll all be honest men
G D
I go back to my blindness so that I may see again
D Em
A woman standing on a hill is gazing out to sea
G D
Dreaming of a new age, waiting there for me

[Verse 4]

D Em
I call her from a distance and she smiles into the sun
G D
And men and gods begin their dance for their time has begun
D Em
And holy wars extended and battlefields of pain
G D
Are washed away, forgotten in the perfect rain

[Verse 5]

D Em
Princes, kings and humble things are well-worn and content
G D
Messengers come everywhere, envoys have been sent
D Em
Na na na na, na-na na, a palm tree nodded at me last night
G D
He said “Hey, you look so pale”
