Whisper Turn

Tom: Em

Em  C  G
Em  C  G


[Verse]

Em         C               G
 There's a quiet that's descending
Em       C         G
 As the seas they rise
Em        C          G
 And the fields lie. . .broken
Em      C       G
 Under burning skies


[Verse]

Em        C               G
 I hear stillness in the highway
Em            C         G
 Though they roar like waves
Em        C       G
 Can you hear it people?
Em         C    G
 Whisper "turn away"


[Chorus]

Am                C
 So lift up your heads
              G
Uncover your eyes
                 D
There's so much more to us than this

Am          C                   G
 Full of a light, an echo that guides
            D           Am
Telling us all that we exist,
C        G     D
. . .  exist . . .

(slight pause)


[Verse]

Em        C             G
 I can't see where I'm going
Em             C      G
 But it don't bother me
Em             C        G
 My feet will find the soft grass
Em             C       G
 This path of love to you


[Chorus]

Am                C
 So lift up your heads
              G
Uncover your eyes
                 D
There's so much more to us than this

Am          C                   G
 Full of a light, an echo that guides
            D           Am
Telling us all that we exist,
C        G     D
. . .  exist . . .


[Refrain]

Am         C            G            D
 ooh,ooh,ooh, ooh,ooh,ooh, ooh,ooh,ooh,

Am         C            G            D
 ooh,ooh,ooh, ooh,ooh,ooh, ooh,ooh,ooh,


[Instrumental]

Am,  C,  G,  D
Am,  C,  G,  D
Am,  C,  G,  D
Am,  C,  G,  D


[Outro]

Am                C
 So lift up your heads
              G
Uncover your eyes
                 D
There's so much more to us than this

Am          C                   G
 Full of a light, an echo that guides
            D           Am
Telling us all that we exist,
C        G     D     Em
. . .  exist . . . . .
