[Verse]
C G
So there's longing in the shoulders now
Am F
There was a wildness in that time
G
Can't we now say
C F G
Oh sweet were the hours, but hours to find
C G
There was no way to live in simple dreams
Am F
There was no straightness to our line
G
Gravel in hand
C F G
Darling, we're moving the mountains around
[Chorus]
F G
This is the fire of leaving pains,
C Cmaj7 Am
when the love is gone but the need remains
F G
Into the shiver and cold of day,
C Cmaj7 Am
when the house is gone but the street remains
G
I guess it's true
F C
I guess these rivers never knew
[Verse]
C G
And so finally the night time comes
Am F
There is no lot to cast a blame
G
No need to hide
C F G
No fear who I'd meet in some grocery lane
[Chorus]
F G
This is the fire of leaving pains,
C Cmaj7 Am
when the love is gone but the need remains
F G
Into the shiver and cold of day,
C Cmaj7 Am
when the house is gone but the street remains
G
I guess it's true
F C
I guess these rivers never knew
[Interlude]
F C G Am
F C G Am
[Verse]
C G
And I'll sing of seasons 'til you turn me off
Am F
I see the way of letting go
G
They'll be the same
C F G
And whatever changes these changes I know
[Chorus]
F G
This is the fire of leaving pains,
C Cmaj7 Am
when we're not that strong but the need remains
F G
Into the shiver and lights of day,
C Cmaj7 Am
when the house is gone but the fields remain
G
I guess it's true
F C
I guess these rivers never knew
[Outro]
