Tom: G

Bm                   Em              D              Em
The sunlight has a sister and she's beating down your door
Bm                   Em              D              Em
And you need to breathe like you did never breathe before
Bm            F#m         Bm       Em
You're going home, you're rag and bone

Bm                          Em              D                Em
And you're singing from the shallows and you're in up to your knees
Bm             Em              D              Em
Can't see the surface, can't remember how to breathe
Bm              F#m      Bm          Em
So you're going home, you're on your own

[Refrain]
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
C     Em
Who-o-oa,
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
Em     C
whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]
Bm                       Em              D              Em
You tried to stand up tall so you would never have to kneel
Bm                    Em                   D           Em
But now you've got a wound that you don't ever want to heal
Bm              F#m           Bm       Em
So you're going home, you're skin and bone

Bm                          Em              D            Em
You're godless and you're loveless, don't believe in anything
Bm                   Em              D              Em
But you can walk on water, you can shout and you can sing
Bm            F#m      Bm      Em
You're going home, all on your own

[Chorus]
Bm               D
A final drop of water
Bm              G     C
A trick of the li-i-ight
C                   D       Bm
Turns you round you start again

Bm               D
The lamb was led to slaughter
Bm                 G     C
It didn't put up a fi-i-ight
C                       D            Em             F#m    C
'cos it believes the afterlife is something that is re-e-e-eal

[Refrain]
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
C     Em
Who-o-oa,
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
Em     C
whoa, whoa
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
C     Em
Who-o-oa,
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
Em     C
whoa, whoa

C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,

Who-o-oa,
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
Em     C

Who-o-o-o-oa,
C     Em
Who-o-oa,
C     G   Em
Who-o-o-o-oa,
Em     C

It didn't put up a fi-i-ight
C                   D       Bm
It turns around and starts again

The final drop of water
Bm              G     C
A trick of the li-i-ight
C                   D       Bm

Bm                 D
A lost and lonely daughter
Bm                 G     C
Slips into the ni-i-i-ight
C                      D       Bm
She turns around and starts again
