D                  Cmaj7/E            C      G
Light ended the night, but the song remained
                        D                        Cmaj7/E         C        G
And I was hiding by the stair, half here, half there, past the lashing rain
                              D              Cmaj7/E  F#m     G
And as the sky would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind
      A            G                        D
As we stood, congregated, at the firing line

[Verse 2]
D               Cmaj7/E           C          G
Night ended the fight, but the song remained
                       D                    Cmaj7/E              G
And so I headed to the wall, turned tail to call to the new domain
                       D             Cmaj7/E                 F#m      G
As if in the sight of sea, you're suddenly   free but it's  all the same
        A     G         D           G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
A          G          D          G           D Cmaj7/E F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
 D Cmaj7/E F#m G

[Refrain 1]
      F      
Was I too slow?
        Am        Em       
Did you change overnight?
       G
Second son, on the other line

[Verse 3]
D               Cmaj7/E        C      G
Now, back in our town as a castaway
                    D                    Cmaj7/E        C        G
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line, on the third of May
                D          Cmaj7/E       F#m        G
As if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away
        A      G         D                G
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
A         G          D          G            D Cmaj7/E F#m G
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
D Cmaj7/E F#m G

[Refrain 2]
      F     
Was I too slow?
      Am      Em       
Did I change overnight?
       G                        Dm
Second son, for the second time
