Silver Shore

Tom: F#m

F#m             D
Billowing hills
A
Shoulders of steel
F#m           D         A
Hide behind faces of glass
Bm                F#m
The street light valleys
D            A
The midnight tallies
Bm        F#m        D
Recollections of our past
                    E
These thoughts of home


[Pre-Chorus]

          D    E
And tonight we sleep
     C#m       D
With lions all around
   E           C#m      D
In furnaces of fire we sleep
      D    E
Tonight we sleep
     C#m       D
With lions all around
   E           C#m      D
In furnaces of fire we sleep


[Verse 2]

      F#m         D        A
We’re ghosts inside of our bodies
 F#m     D                A
Naked inside of our clothes
Bm             F#m           D            A
We’re all terrified of the writhing ocean tide
        Bm            F#m         D
But our pockets are all full of hope
                      E
These thoughts of home


[Pre-Chorus]

          D    E
And tonight we sleep
     C#m       D
With lions all around
   E           C#m      D
In furnaces of fire we sleep
      D    E
Tonight we sleep
     C#m       D
With lions all around
   E           C#m      D
In furnaces of fire we sleep


[Chorus]  

A       C#m     F#m             E
We were born on heaven’s silver shores
  A             C#m           F#m        E
I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded

A       C#m     F#m             E
We were born on heaven’s silver shores
  A             C#m           F#m        E
I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded


[Bridge]

D     E               C#m     D
Did I hear you in the driving rain
E           C#m      D
I swear somebody was calling my name again


[Chorus]  

A       C#m     F#m             E
We were born on heaven’s silver shores
  A             C#m           F#m        E
I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded

A       C#m     F#m             E
We were born on heaven’s silver shores
  A             C#m           F#m        E
I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded


A       C#m          F#m               E
We were made for the other side of the lake
A                     C#m
It’s more than we can take
    F#m           E
The fever’s gonna break for us


A       C#m     F#m             E
We were born on heaven’s silver shores
  A             C#m           F#m        E
I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded

A       C#m     F#m             E
We were born on heaven’s silver shores
  A             C#m           F#m        E
I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded
